The destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588 by the English under Francis Drake.

Did queen Elizabeth win any wars?

Yes she did. Her English army technically won the Spanish Armada but they didn't really do much to them as it was the wind that defeated the Armada. The Armada had seen the English fire ships and had panicked and tried to flee but the wind had battered their ships and drowned most of the Spanish and any survivors that washed up in Scotland was killed.


What did the English do that helped defeat the Spanish armada?

As the Spanish ships were to close together and the leader of the British fleet sir Francis drake recognised this and sent a ship that was on fire into the Spanish army and since they were to close together once one ship caught fire they all did.
