It was Phillips II ships that fought against the Spanish armada
No English in the Armada because it was Spanish ships
i think toontown the best thats how they turend the english against the spanish armada
No this is not true as Sir Francis Drake did not loose his war with the Spanish Armada. as the Armada were very large ships and Drakes were smaller , the Spanish cannonballs flew above the English ships, sand the English shells hit the Armada ship in the centre causing damage.
They had around 80 and the spanish had 138.
As he was English, he wasn't part of the Spanish Armada, the name tells you it was a fleet of ships from SPAIN. He did however, defeat the Spanish.
The Spanish Armada was important because the main reason for sailing towards England in 1588 was to overthrow the English throne and Queen Elizabeth I. The Spanish Armada was an invincible until it was defeated by the English naval ships. The invasion of England was thwarted.
yes, it was.
kis ships were smaller and faster than English ships.
The Spanish armada held 8,000 sailors and 20,000 soldiers , and there were around 130 ships altogether, after the battle the armada lost around 60 ships, the English lost none.
The weather was the main cause for the failure of the Spanish Armada, but if there had been no English ships the Armada could have just waited until the weather improved and then invaded England. It was a combination of weather, English ships and poor leadership that made the Armada fail.
The Spanish Armada was in 1588 and 1st English settlement, Jamestown VA was in 1607
