What impact on the world did sir francis drake make?

he voyages of Sir Francis Drake changed the world in two ways. The first way was when Drake raided the Spaniards and killed many of them. That was the reason for the Spanish war. Ever since, they've had a rivalry. Also, he impacted the world by sailing around the world. People were inspired by that, so they decided to follow. These are the ways Sir Francis Drake impacted the world. Drake later died in 1596. Obviously, Sir Francis Drake was a great explorer. If he had not been forced to live on a boat, and have his rich cousin John Hawkins, he would not have been on any of his famous voyages. Drake's voyage around the world made people try and follow in his footsteps. Even though Drake started the Spanish war, he was a hero. Sir Francis Drake will be remembered by many people.
