1. luck- when the armada were on their way back, the wind was wrong so they had to go all around Britain. they lost a lot of ships.
2. bad leadership- the proper leader died, and they found a new one, who was good onland, but suffered from sea sickness!
3. the English ships were more manoeuvrable, and faster.
4. the English had better cannons. they could fire every 10 mins, but the spanish ones took 1 hour.

∙ 12y agoThe Spanish Armada failed due to lack of food and drink also the failed by building weak ships which was blown away into the sea by ferocious weather. They also failed because they did not have great skill with weapons. Also Philip (the leader of the spanish armada) didnt want to spend all his money on ships supplies or soldiers where as elizabeth 1st spent alot on these things.
