The King of Spain, Philip II, was a Catholic and began the naval war against England in 1588. He sent a huge war fleet to England for several reasons:

A. To safeguard Spanish merchant ships and Spain's colonies against English raids;

B. To depose the Protestant queen of England, Elizabeth I; and

C. To restore Catholicism to England.

The Spanish Armada met a huge storm that destroyed much of the King's fleet, and the English war ships ended the entire affair.
