Without Sir Francis Drake, the course of maritime exploration and English naval power could have shifted significantly. Drake’s circumnavigation of the globe in the late 16th century not only demonstrated the potential for overseas expansion but also bolstered England's status as a formidable maritime nation. His contributions to the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 helped secure England's dominance at sea, which may have been delayed or diminished without his influence. Consequently, the absence of Drake might have altered the balance of power in Europe and the establishment of British colonial ventures.

How did Francis Drake become interested in exploration and ships?
Mercenary, I'm afraid. He sailed to attack Spanish ships that were shipping valuables that they themselves were plundering from central and southern America. This would enhance English influence and control over the oceans, and whilst the Crown (Elizabeth I) would have first dibs at the booty, he would have second call - then the ships' officers and crew.

Yes, she did. This was when the Spanish would be going to explore the Americas, then (I think it was Francis Drake) they would sneak onto their ships and raid them. But not with pirates. Anyway, the Spanish would come back furious, and she would deny every claim and pretend like she didn't do anything. AND THEY BELIEVED HER! The Spanish thought they were robbed by pirates...
What was sir Francis drakes flagship?
Sir Francis Drake was a privateer with papers from the British crown allowing him to plunder on the high seas as long as the crown got a cut of the 'booty.' Being a privateer he would have flown the flag of his home country, in this case Britain. At no time did he work as a regular pirate, though the French of that time would certainly have disagreed, so he would not have flown under any type of Jolly Roger.
What was Sir Francis Drake's family life?
Life was very different for children back in 1540 when Francis Drake was born. He grew up in England as the oldest of 12 sons (large families were the norm in those days). His father was Edmund Drake and his mother was Mary Mylwaye Drake. Francis's father was a farmer, who lived on the estate of Lord Francis Russell, the second earl of Bedford (Lord Francis Russell was also Francis Drake's godfather). We do not know much about his relationship with his family, but we have no reason to believe there was anything unusual about it. In the mid-1500s, the idea of kids getting a formal education was only for the upper-class, and only for boys. Francis was not a noble, so he was apprenticed at what to us today would seem a young age. He was sent to work for a merchant who sailed coastal waters from England to France and back, trading goods between those two countries. In those days, that is how a young man learned a skill or a trade, and that how Francis Drake spent his youth.
