The English did defeat the Spanish Armada. First, Sir Francis Drake sailed into a Spanish harbor and burned many Spanish ships. Secondly, there was a hurricane that blew many Spanish ships off course. Thirdly, the English ships were smaller and they were able to move around the Spanish ships and use their guns effectively.
