β 14y agoTheSpanish 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. The fleet set out with 22 warships of the Spanish Royal Navy and 108 converted merchant vessels, with the intention of sailing through the English Channel to anchor off the coast of Flanders.
Of the fleet's initial complement, about 50 vessels failed to make it back to Spain. The expedition was the largest engagement of the undeclared Anglo--Spanish War (1585--1604).

When did the spanish armada get defeated?
The Armada suffered from poor planning, poor timing, and inadequate leadership. The smaller British fleet was able to scatter the armada and prevent its planned invasion. The disaster was completed by storms that wrecked many more ships. The Spanish Armada was a fleet assembled and dispatched by King Philip II of Spain in attempt to invade England in 1588. His attempt was unsuccessful. Queen Elizabeth I of England held the defeat of the armada as one of her greatest achievements, assisting the decline of the Spanish Empire. The armada had a mission of both political and religious aims. King Philip, the leader of the Roman Catholic Spain, was not able to stop a revolt by his Protestant subjects in the Netherlands, a revolt which began in 1566 and was aided by Protestant England. By 1586, Phillip had decided that he could not defeat the Dutch until he had defeated England first. Long time religious rivalry between Spain and England was hoped to be resolved by King Philip in the dethroning of Queen Elizabeth, reconverting England to Catholicism. The plan for conquering had begun. This plan consisted of the coordination of a fleet to sail from Spain and an army from the Netherlands to create a simultaneous invasion of England. His force of 130 ships and more than 30,000 men was led by Alonso Peréz Guzmán, duke of Medina-Sidonia. England became aware of the Spanish plans, attacking the armada at Cádiz, Spain in 1587, and succeeding in delaying it for a year. By July of 1588, the armada was spotted off the coast of England. On July 28, a bold night attack by forces under Sir Francis Drake disorganized the anchored armada, and several warships were sunk in a subsequent battle off Gravelines. The destruction of the fleet was continued by the North Sea weather, which wrecked ships on the coast of Scotland, and many more in gales off western Ireland. Some of the surviving crews died of hunger or disease en route back to Spain. In all, more than 60 of the original 130 ships were lost.
