Description:
The Spanish Armada, a massive fleet sent by Philip II of Spain to help attack England, ultimately met its demise on July 29, 1588. This led to Spain, one of the most powerful empires, declining in power, as they lost more money. This also made England, the winners of the battle, a central power in Europe at the time.Added to timeline:
