Answer 2

1. The reasons for the war between England and Spain were primarily political and religious. England, under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, was seen as a Protestant nation and posed a threat to the Catholic dominance of Spain. Additionally, there were conflicts over territory and trade, with both countries vying for control of the New World.

2. Francis Drake was an English sea captain and explorer who played a significant role in the war against Spain. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the globe and his raids on Spanish ships and settlements in the Americas. Drake's actions were seen as acts of piracy by the Spanish, but he was hailed as a hero in England.

3. Spain built the first Armada in 1588.

4. Queen Elizabeth I famously addressed her soldiers at Tilbury before the battle against the Spanish Armada. She said, "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too." This speech was meant to inspire her troops and show her determination to defend England against the Spanish invasion.

5. The King of Spain, Philip II, had to build another fleet because the first Armada was defeated by the English. The defeat was a significant blow to Spanish pride and power, and Philip II wanted to retaliate and regain control over England.

6. The English ships were better for several reasons. Firstly, they were smaller and more maneuverable, allowing them to outmaneuver the larger Spanish galleons. Secondly, the English had developed superior naval tactics, including the use of long-range cannons. Lastly, the English ships were well-equipped with experienced sailors and were more effectively supplied.

7. The end of the battle saw the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The English navy, led by Sir Francis Drake and Charles Howard, successfully repelled the Spanish invasion attempt. The Spanish fleet suffered heavy losses due to storms and English firepower, leading to the ultimate failure of their mission to invade England. This victory was a turning point in European history and marked the decline of Spanish naval dominance.
