The Spanish Armada was a fleet of 130 ships that sailed from A Coruña in August 1588 as an escort to troops from Flanders for a planned invasion England to depose Queen Elizabeth and prevent English interference in the Spanish Netherlands and (hopefully) predation by English privateers.
Unfortunately for the Armada, bad choices by leaders, aggressive, effective attacks by the British and Dutch, bad weather, and general bad fortune prevented them from ever linking up with the army they were to escort and more than a third of the fleet was destroyed before they could make it back to Spain.
