What led to the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and how did it alter the course of European history? This book explores the history of the Spanish Armada, the fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain in 1588 to invade England and restore Catholicism under Spanish control. It delves into the political, religious, and military contexts that led to the Armada’s formation, the key battles between the Spanish and English forces, and the ultimate failure of the Armada due to bad weather, tactical mistakes, and the resilience of the English navy. The narrative examines how the defeat of the Spanish Armada shifted the balance of power in Europe, marking the decline of Spain’s dominance and the rise of England as a global naval power. By analyzing the long-term effects on European geopolitics and the subsequent rise of the British Empire, the book highlights the Armada’s lasting impact on European history.
