One result of Philip II's anti-Protestant policies was the Spanish Armada's defeat in 1588. The Spanish Armada was a naval fleet sent by Philip to invade England and restore Catholicism. This defeat weakened Spain's naval power and marked the decline of Spanish dominance in Europe.

As a result of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, Spain was set back a long way. Out of the 130 ships that set off for England in May 1588, 53 did not return, Out of the 30,000 sailors that left Spain, only 20,000 returned - many that did return were very sick or weak from injuries, lack of food, water ect.England gained many advantages. The Englishmen who still believed in Catholicism were swayed after believing that God had been on the Protestant side and not the Catholic side. England took great pride in the fact that they won; Francis Drake and the other commanders were knighted. The events of the Armada were made to show Elizabeth as in control of the world (look at portraits shortly afterwards).Overall, the defeat of the Spanish Armada was a turning point. It marked the decline in the strength and power of Spain andCatholicism, and marked the start of England's ride to becoming the most powerful country in the world.
