Spanish Armada was it a great victory or not?
Depends what you mean by 'great victory'. The outcome was that desired by the English, i.e. The threat of Spanish invasion was stopped. The tactics used by the English generally were correct - they couldn't grapple closely with the larger Spanish ships so their superior gunnery kept up bombardment from a distance. The English also took advantage of the wind to send fireships into the Spanish fleet at an anchorage from which it was difficult for the Spanish to escape. No large-scale action by the English defeated the Spanish, so from that point of view there was no large-scale military victory, but once the Spanish ships had scattered and were beset by Atlantic storms, failure of the Armada was assured.
How did the weather lead to the armada failure?
The weather was the main cause for the failure of the Spanish Armada, but if there had been no English ships the Armada could have just waited until the weather improved and then invaded England. It was a combination of weather, English ships and poor leadership that made the Armada fail.
