Was the Spanish Armada caused by the execution of Mary Queen of Scots?
Partly.
Mary was brought up in France and spoke English with French accent.

Catholic countries like Spain were outraged by her execution, which certainly played a role in the long-planned (and ultimately disastrous) attack on England, the leading Protestant power of the time.
