The Spanish Armada was a naval fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain in 1588 to invade England and overthrow Queen Elizabeth I. The fleet was ultimately defeated by a combination of unfavorable weather, strategic miscalculations, and the English navy's tactics. The defeat marked a significant turning point in naval power, signaling the decline of Spanish dominance and the rise of England as a major maritime force. This event had lasting implications for European politics and colonial expansion.
