Spanish Armada (jul 1, 1588 – aug 31, 1588)
Description:
The Spanish Armada was a 130-ship fleet sent by the King Philip of Spain in order to invade England. The so-called “Invincible Armada” was outsmarted by the English, and then battered around by storms and bad weather on their way back to Spain. This was a major point in the English-Spanish wars since the English felt empowered because of their victory.Added to timeline:
