The Spanish Armada failed because of many things:
Communication- There was a great lack of communication between the Spanish fleet from Spain and the Spanish in France.
Francis Drake- Drake was highly experienced and very tactical.
Phillip II- They had a perfect opportunity to invade England when the first arrived but were under strict instructions not to invade until they had the full fleet unless absolutely necessary.
Medina Sedonia- The leader of the Spanish had no experience and did not want to lead the invasion!
I assume you are talking about the same instance- If I fail to plan my history project, then I planned to fail my history project" I do not agree- the way I look at this, if you have failed to plan, you must have already failed all together, because you cannot fail to plan until you have lost your ability to plan. This means you already had to do that "history project" on the last day, which means you failed to plan. You did not however, plan to fail, and if you did that was a conscious choice you made, and you are a complete and total idiot. In essence, unless you had reason to fail, wanted to fail, and planned on failing ahead of time, you did not plan to fail JUST BECAUSE you failed to plan. This is a very situational and very opinion based question... there is no definitive answer.
The meaning of the phrase "if you fail to plan you plan to fail" simply means if you do not plan out, it is recipe for failing. It means to plan out before you do something, think it out so to speak.
Philip's plan to anchor off Calais ,because it is close to England in stead of going all the way around Spain to France and then to England they just went from France to England PS i got this of my history teacher so it must be right
the plan granted to much power to the colonies
no
Invade England.
Harvey Mackay said, "Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan."
Yep.... Just that the phrase doesn't really make sense, you can't not plan (fail to plan) and plan to fail, i mean, what he hell
win then
you should have a comma after "plan" and "fail" should have an "s" at the end. Irony FAIL!
True. You can succeed without a plan, but with a prepared mind.
Because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail...

why did they drop-a-crop plan fail
I believe the quote is actually "If you fail to prepare then you are preparing to fail" and it would be Benjamin Franklin.
plan to fail , or fail to plan. u choose
For example: You plan to not study for a final exam and therefore plan to fail the exam you really didn't succeed at planning, did you? in the end you didn't really plan anything at all making your plan a failure.
