Why was Elizabeth I reign referred to as the Golden Age?

Answer 1

The country was left in a lot of debt and was having problems with religion as the previous monarch (Bloody Mary) decided that Catholicism would be the only religion in England. Elizabeth brought the country out of debt, did not require people to be Catholic, won the battle against the Spanish Armada, organised the ships that voyaged off to find new land and played a large part in making England one of the most powerful countries in the world.

Answer 2

Elizabeth I brought about a Golden Age in England because she was careful with what she spent, building the English treasury back up from previous monarchs who had drained the treasury. England was torn between Cathocolism and Christianity when Elizabeth became queen. Upon Elizabeth's accession, she passed the Act of Supremacy, ending for the most part the religious fights and saving England from similar fates such as France and Spain endured. For the longest time, Elizabeth avoided war with other nations. She successfully brought Ireland under the English crown and defeated the Spanish Armada of 1588 as well as the ones that Philip II would later send. Elizabeth was populary and the people liked her. She encouraged litertature and the arts, sending England into its Renassicance. Writers such as William Shakespeare and Sir Philip Sydney flourshed during Elizabeth's reign. Sir Francis Drake made the second voyage around the world and Sir Walter Raleigh sat up the first English colony in America, the doomed Roanoke colony. Virginia, named after Elizabeth, was founded. When Elizabeth died, England was more stable then it had ever been before.

Answer 3

The period 1558 - 1603 was ruled by Elizabeth I and under such time has been referred by recent historians as the Golden Age. There are many reasons for this. One being the flowering of poetry, music and literature. Also this era saw the protestant reformation which Elizabeth implemented rather successfully and the religion that she implemented still stands as the religion in England today. The victory over the Spanish armada also is a reason why that age is considered golden. John Guy argues that "England was economically healthier, more expansive, and more optimistic under the Tudors" than at any time in a thousand years. It saw the age of which exploration flourished and new discoveries were made.
