Francis Drake aimed to circumnavigate the globe, disrupt Spanish shipping, and establish English claims in the New World during the late 16th century. His most notable achievement was becoming the second explorer to sail around the world, completing the journey from 1577 to 1580. Additionally, he sought to challenge Spanish dominance in the Americas by raiding their treasure ships and ports, thereby bolstering England's maritime power and influence.
