Spanish Armada

The Spanish Armada or commonly called the Invincible Armada.

Conflicts in the New World infuriated the Spanish, and they decided to send the fleet of ships to attack and invade England.

The English used a tactic of sending Fire burning ships into the Spanish 'army of flanders' to break up the formation!

the Spanish Armada had roughly 130 ships (no detail because i wanna be simple)

Lord Howard of Effingham and Francis Drake

He didn't explore anything. He was a navy commander, ship builder, and slave trader.

The Spanish colonization of the Americas was initiated by Spanish conquistadors and developed by the Monarchy of Spain. It lasted over four hundred years from 1492 to 1898. Aims of the Spanish colonization were trade and spreading Christianity by gaining political rule.

The weather was the main cause for the failure of the Spanish Armada, but if there had been no English ships the Armada could have just waited until the weather improved and then invaded England.

It was a combination of weather, English ships and poor leadership that made the Armada fail.

yes

• the English drove them in to sand banks
• the English send fire ships to panic the Spanish
• the weather pushed the Spanish in to rocks

wen the English threw fire on 2 the spqanish ships and theyt all died. Dat iz how they won. Also the spanish sgh-ips cld not fire canyoions verry far

Philip II

the Americas would be different, at the time of the planned invasion both Spain and England were occupying some part of the "new world". Spain had Mexico and England had some of the US. Had the Spanish won they probably would have taken over the British plans for the new world and ruled both Mexico and the US.

Metacomet

When the English sent on ship bombs (like a floating fire), that mostly scattered the Spanish ships from their crescent strategy shape, making it easier for the English to attack. The bad weather also helped, as well as the fact that the English ships didn't get close enough to the Spanish ships so the spanish were unable to use their method of jumping onto the enemys ships and attacking that way.

Spain and Portugal

There were several reasons.

As the King of Spain, Philip II's wish was to return England to the Catholic Faith and to restore Church lands and property that had been stolen by Henry VIII, and to reopen the Monasteries. The Pope agreed. Subject to the Pope's agreement Philip would choose a new Ruler pledged to restore the Catholic faith.

He also wanted to stop English support of the rebellion in the Spanish Netherlands, and to stop attacks on Spanish shipping by privateers and English captains such as Sir Francis Drake.

Queen Elizabeth I refused Philip's demands, so Philip gave orders for a huge fleet to be assembled, to carry out an invasion of England. They sailed in 1588 but were defeated by a smaller but faster British fleet.

30,500

Sailors used to eat raw substances. E.g, stale bread, oranges and water.

Sailors didn't eat any dairy because there weren't any refrigerators in those times so all dairy would go off.

Sailors also used to eat biscuits and apples, but they had to be careful because sometimes maggots lived inside the biscuits and mainly the apples!

Three. In 1596 and 1597, two more armadas were sent but were scattered by storms.

The monarch on the throne at the time of the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, (where Lord Nelson was killed) was King George III (1738 -1820).

You had little education and had to walk for many hours every day. You were faced with brutal conditions such as the weather and just overall people being rude and disrespectful. You often got made fun of by people your age who were richer than you. A lot of newsboys back then were either homeless or lived in very dingy homes in bad neighborhoods. They also did not make much if any profit and could barely get by.

the Duke of Medina Sedona led the Spanish Armada.

Francis Drake led England

In the 1588 clash known as the "Spanish Armada", the English had several advantages over their Spanish opponents, and they made full use of them. First, their ships were more numerous, if also less well-armed, than the Spanish contingent. Second, their captains and crews were driven by the desperate need to protect their homeland, not simply win a battle. Third, they were superior sailors in general, and they gained the particular advantage of positioning themselves upwind of the Spanish fleet. Finally, they had luck on their side, as a powerful storm arose in timely fashion to sink or damage many of the Spanish ships.
