Because Philip of Spain was a Catholic and Elizabeth I was a protestant. Their religious views differed so much that they fought over everything. The Spanish Armada attempted the invasion of England in order to overthrow Elizabeth I and establish Philip and his daughter, the infanta Isabella as the rulers of England. The armada was repelled and sunk by the English navy led by Sir Francis Drake.
