After their defeat in the American Revolutionary War, the English retained control of several key towns, including New York City, Charleston, and Savannah. These urban centers were strategically important for trade and military operations. However, their hold on these territories diminished over time as American forces gained strength and support from allies, ultimately leading to full independence. By 1783, following the Treaty of Paris, the British formally relinquished control over these areas.

When the Spanish Armada was sighted in 1588, Sir Francis Drake was engaged in raiding Spanish ships and ports along the coast of Spain. He was in the English Channel, having just completed a successful raid on the port of Cadiz, which delayed the Armada's plans. Drake's naval tactics and experience were crucial in the subsequent battles against the Armada, contributing to England's naval victory.
Did the Spanish Armada ever have a realistic chance of success?
Yes, if the Spanish plan hadn't failed and they hadn't stopped at the shore to pick up more troops (which made them vulnerable), the Irish didn't see them as invaders and didn't attack them.
The diseases hadn't been so problematic, and they hadn't been caught in the middle of a terrible storm, they had a great chance against Elizabeth's navy.
