Philip tried to invade England because:
- Elizabeth rejected him from marraige
- Elizabeth had executed a Catholic queen; Mary Queen of Scots
- Elizabeth had been sending her navy to the new world (america) to steal treasure off spanish ships
- England held the Dutch, who were fighting Spain
- England wanted to share the New worlds treasures with Spain
- Philip wanted to turn England into a Catholic country and by doing that he needed to kill the Protestant ruler; Elizabeth.
