my oponion on the subject is that it showed that England actually had military strength.
They were a strong army and could easily invade and take over
You mean that the Spanish Armada was defeated by the English Navy and bad weather. The English navy achieved a victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Gravelines and sever storms disrupted the Spanish fleet

The Spanish Armada was when a huge navy of Spanish ships went over to England and got crushed: by mother nature mostly. It was devestating to the Spanish.
In 1588 the Spanish Armada, led by the Duke of Medina Sidonia, sailed across the English channel in attempt to over throw Queen Elizabeth I of England.

the English victory over the Spanish Armada
Correct me if I'm wrong, but while en route to fight a growing English fleet the "proud and mighty" Spanish Armada was mostly destroyed by a huge storm. This prompted the English Navy to rise into prominence and spurred the Spanish Empire's decline over the next few centuries.
Enabled England to gain control of the North Atlantic sea-lanes.
Yes although over a third of the armada survived.
In 1588 the Spanish Armada, led by the Duke of Medina Sidonia, sailed across the English channel in attempt to over throw Queen Elizabeth I of England.
At the Battle of Gravelines the English lost 50 to 100 dead and 400 wounded. Further to this over 8000 subsequently died from disease. The Spanish losses at the battle were over 600 dead, 800 wounded, 400 captured (5 ships were sunk) From storms and disease 51 ships were wrecked, 10 were scuttled and over 20,000 died Over 3000
It seems there is a mistake in your question; the Spanish Armada was defeated in 1588, not 1955. England's victory over the Spanish Armada was primarily due to a combination of superior naval tactics, the use of smaller, more maneuverable ships, and adverse weather conditions that hampered the Spanish fleet. Additionally, the English forces were well-prepared and coordinated, allowing them to exploit the weaknesses of the larger Spanish ships.
