1 janv. 1588 - England defeats the Spanish Armada

Description:

During the reign of Elizabeth I, Elizabeth's lenient religious tolerance to Protestantism led to Philip II of Spain to send a fleet of ships against England to restore Catholicism. The Spanish Armada failed and allowed Elizabeth and her religious tolerance policies to reign in England. This event specifically represents not only the declining power of the Catholic Church, but also serves to represent one of the armed conflicts at the time that was over religion and Catholicism vs. Protestantism.
