Sir Francis Drake
Helped to create England's naval dominance in the North Atlantic
A Protestant Wind
The English did defeat the Spanish Armada. First, Sir Francis Drake sailed into a Spanish harbor and burned many Spanish ships. Secondly, there was a hurricane that blew many Spanish ships off course. Thirdly, the English ships were smaller and they were able to move around the Spanish ships and use their guns effectively.

The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 marked a significant turning point in European history, strengthening England's naval dominance and establishing it as a leading maritime power. This victory bolstered national pride and helped foster a sense of English identity, paving the way for future colonial expansion. Additionally, the decline of Spanish dominance opened up new opportunities for trade and exploration, contributing to the rise of the Dutch and English economies in the following centuries.

Sir Francis Drake
He helped defeat the Spanish Armada and he was the first Englishman to sail around the world ( he even landed in San Francisco Bay).

He was second-in-command of a fleet of an English fleet and helped to defeat the Spanish. We refer to this entire incident as the Spanish Armada.
If you mean the Spanish Armada, then Sir Francis Drake was the English leader and Medina Sidonia was the Spanish leader. Hope I helped! :)

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.
