King Philip II launched the Spanish Armada in 1588 primarily to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England and restore Catholicism in the country. He viewed her support for Protestantism and English privateering against Spanish ships as direct threats to Spanish power and influence. Additionally, Philip aimed to secure Spain's dominance in Europe and protect Catholic interests by eliminating England as a rival. The unsuccessful campaign ultimately marked a significant turning point in European geopolitics, weakening Spain’s naval supremacy.
