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.

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.

it started.... because the ships like England and Spain and stuff like that wanted a fight so the decided that they will have a fight to and so they had a fight and England won.

The armada did not invade England. It aas defeated by what was

called a Protestant wind, because the wind was bad for the Spanish

Catholic fleet and good for Protestant ruled England.

In 1588 (and even for several years prior), in anticipation of their intended invasion of the British Isles, Spanish leaders prepared their "Armada Invincible" in various ways. The gathering of the ships themselves, supplies, the crews, and various support personnel was one significant part of the massive undertaking. The development of a tactical plan for the fleet, in respect to the sailing route and to anticipated clashes with the English navy, was itself carefully formulated. Perhaps the most critical element, coordination with the invasion-army, stationed in Flanders and therefore needing to be collected by the fleet sailing from Spain, was also undertaken.

The Spanish Armada was a fleet assembled and dispatched by King Phillip II of Spain in attempt to invade England in 1588. His attempt was unsuccessful. Queen Elizabeth I of England held the defeat of the armada as one of her greatest achievements, assisting the decline of the Spanish Empire. The armada had a mission of both political and religious aims. King Phillip, the leader of the Roman Catholic Spain, was not able to stop a revolt in of his Protestant subjects in the Netherlands, a revolt which began in 1566, aided by Protestant England. By 1586, Phillip had decided that he could not defeat the Dutch until he had defeated England first. Long time religious rivalry between Spain and England was hoped to be resolved by King Phillip in the dethroning of Queen Elizabeth, reconverting England to Catholicism. The plan for conquering had begun. This plan consisted of the coordination of a fleet to sail from Spain and an army from the Netherlands to create a simultaneous invasion of England. His force of 130 ships and more than 30,000 men was to be led by Alonso Peréz Guzmán, duke of Medina- Sidonia. England was aware of the Spanish plans, attacking it at Cádiz, Spain in 1587, succeeding in delaying it for a year. By July of 1588, the armada was spotted off the coast of England on July 29. Lord Charles Howard intercepted it with a larger English fleet near Plymouth, and for the next week made small attacks on the Spanish in battles off of Plymouth, Portland Bill, and the Isle of Wight. Unable to break the Spanish Armada, they waited for their chance at a big blow. The opportunity finally arrived when the armada anchored near Calais, France, hoping to join troops scheduled to sail from the Netherlands. Ingeniously, Howard ordered ships set on fire to be sent against the armada, producing a panic that broke the Spanish formation. In the ensuing battle of Gravelines, on August 8, the Spanish were defeated by England and the armada sailed home with remaining ships that were heavily damaged to Spain; 67 of the original 130 ships reached Spain, most in poor condition.

In no way did Spain overthrow Elizabeth. While the Armada most likely was an attempt, this due to state of war existing between Britain and Spain at the time, it fail utterly, being partly destroyed, and scattered to limp back to Spain.

They were a strong army and could easily invade and take over

With out a doubt the English ships were better made and they were lighter and moved through the water quicker. Spanish ships may have been more elaborate but they were more like clunkers and they did not move as easily through the water. Spanish ships were also easier to sink and they did not have as many weapons and the British ships.

The English did defeat the Spanish Armada. First, Sir Francis Drake sailed into a Spanish harbor and burned many Spanish ships. Secondly, there was a hurricane that blew many Spanish ships off course. Thirdly, the English ships were smaller and they were able to move around the Spanish ships and use their guns effectively.
