The Spanish Armada had a great many soldiers in their Armada because their aim was the conquering of England. For years the Spanish King Philip II had been gathering men and resources and launched a massive invasion fleet against England. His aim to was to have the Armada meet up with another Spanish army in the Netherlands and the combined force would be too unbearable for the English to face. Spanish soldiers were the finest in the world at the time and all the hopes of the Armada and the invasion for Spanish interests rested on the soldiery of Spanish men. The more of these advanced soldiers Spain had the greater chance of achieving their goal.
