1588
The Spanish Armada (Spanish: Grande y Felicísima Armada, "Great and Most Fortunate Navy") was the Spanish fleet that sailed against England under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia in 1588, with the intention of overthrowing Elizabeth I of England.
on may the 28, 1588 the Armada with 130 ships and 30,000 men began to set sail! :)
It was when the Spanish Armada was sent to invade Britain. Due mainly British weather, and the harrowing by the British fleet, the attack was a dismal failure. Many Spanish ships were sunk by stormy seas as they were forced to sail across the top of Scotland and then south between Ireland and England to reach their Spanish home.
The Spanish Armada, which set sail in 1588, comprised approximately 130 ships and around 30,000 personnel, including sailors and soldiers. Of these, about 18,000 were soldiers, while the remainder consisted of sailors needed to operate the fleet. The armada was primarily intended to invade England and overthrow Queen Elizabeth I but ultimately faced defeat.
The Spanish Armada, a 130 ship fleet, was severely damaged just a month after it set sail. On July 27, 1588 the fleet was damaged at the Battle of Gravelines. After the heavy loss of ships, the Armada was continually unsuccessful and returned to Spain in August to regroup.
They came from England and landed at Sydney harbour
