One of Queen Elizabeth’s great achievements was the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
In the 16th century, the Spanish Armada was known as the invincible fleet. However, it suffered a massive defeat in 1588 in its attempted invasion of England. This documentary explores how the unstoppable fleet had become so weak in 17 short years and how the small nation of England could prevail over the Spanish empire.
Yeah...but no, if the Spanish armada got destroyed at Calais, why was there a battle at Duinkerken? Why did the Dutch fought them 3 times after that and the remainder of the fleet had to sail around Scotland to strand in Ireland?? Sorry but this documentary wasn't really accurate!
Who rated the Spanish Armada as unstoppable? I have heard that it was very powerful, but it was the British saying that, so it is not to be trusted, they would say that to they look so much better.
@@Hooibeest2D Might have been the ones that were not destroyed. Destroying a fleet can be from as little as little as dispersing the fleet to utter destruction. A huge fleet might reform as a few smaller fleets.
Spain won that war (see treaty of London 1604), out of the ~20.000 casualties only ~1.500 were in actual combat
Spain's actual decay began around 1630
Fascinating!!
Excellent presentation.
I couldn't wait for a possible episode of the Spanish Empire :D
Greatins from the beautiful continent of South America
Britian sorted them out already
An excellent documentary, has all the research maps and battle tactics.
Queen Elizabeth I saw the sun rise; Queen Elizabeth II saw the sun set.
I enjoyed this. Thanks.
Excellent documentary. Love watching it.👏👏👏👏
I enjoyed this. Thank you
There are a few inaccuracies, that said our Korean partners did an excellent job in portraying European history from a new angle.
Narration and graphics were excellent 👌 but gets bored when historians talk shows up
Thanks for posting
Simply excellent ❤
very good
This is cool.
Well written, researched, and filmed. Thank you.
Mmm… no, no really
@@camilorubiano7165Mmm yes its was really little cupcake
Some fun facts about UK:
The Opium Wars is an under appreciated part of British history that plays a greatly understated role in current events in regards to how China handles itself. Now USA and Europe say that G0D created heaven and earth and the rest is made in China.
Latin America is the best kept secret of the British Empire and Venezuela the real jewel of the Crown
England is like the baseball team New York Yankees . You either love or hate, but either way, you appreciate its greatness.
Thank you for sharing
🇺🇲🤗🙏
Sir Francis Drake - is something else - the Hind wasn't even that damaged when he finally came to port - what a genius pirate
7:08 I don't know if the British army was Amateur, they were extremely battle hardened and were just 100 years ago the most dominant in the region, having won the 1415 Battle of Agincourt
small and fractured - i will give him that - there were numerous feuds and plots going on at the time and the catholic , protestant purges had also impacted morale
but they def weren't amateur
Great story.
there's lots of inaccuracies in this film entertaining though it is.
In 1589 the English send the counter armada to Northern Spain which also went home defeated. It was the Dutch who defeated the Spanish Navy in the battles of the Down 1640s in English water after that the Spanish navy never fully recovered. It was only during the war of Spanish Succession that England surpassed the Dutch in Naval superiority because by that time a Dutch prince became a King of England
But England still won overall and stopped the evil from Spain spreading.
I’d say remember what England did for the Dutch during ww2…. History closer to time…. You know?
Yes, our Willem III king of England and also stadholder of the Netherlands used all the dutch money to strengthen England.
English navy was already most powerful before Holland became great boat builders through migration from Spain etc it was through these immigrants that built Holland into a wealthy country but England still ruled the waves battleship wise
@@garyhind1405 Immigrants who had to learn the dutch how to build ships? Haha. And immigrants from spain which the dutch fought against in the 80 years war? Come on, you can do better than this.
Phillip II looks like a Rockstar with current fashion 😂
Ottoman Empire next
Then mongol
British already destroyed that empire in the first word war had them running back to Turkey so fast they Left everything behind.
@@britishpatriot7386 Nope, they were a shell of their actual might. They did beat British in Gallipoli and few other campaigns with 5x less soldiers and eventually booted them out when they found republic of Turkey
@@theunbeatable6598 lol okay whatever 🤣🤣🤣 you enjoy your fake history then
@@britishpatriot7386 Nope lmao its literally out there
Cope n seethe
Actor doesn't have enough chin to pass for a Habsburg
Man I was listening to the three parts of the BBC's The Invention of Spain just like 2 hours ago.
Don´t forget one thing: The english had the Tezcatlipoca's mirror on their side owned by John Dee, Elizabeth´s counsellor
What is THAT? I know about John dee
intriguing
Had to look it up. Not sure the Aztec mirror gave the English the edge. At a time when tradition was all and science was in its infancy they innovated the s**t out of sea warfare.
Exaggerating narrative: "small nation defeats mighty empire", "Spain had vanquished the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Lepanto".
WoooooooooW
The actor playing King Philip needed to be about 40 years older . Lol
And a good bit uglier.
And not Korean lmao.
Phillip the second was king of England through marriage, before Elizabeth. Not sure why it isn't mentioned.
It was Britain by then, the Tudors were a Welsh dynasty so they changed the name as Wales had joined in 1535.
At the outset of WW1 France was ready for the war of 1870. At the outset of WW2 France was ready for WW1
Queen Elizabeth I's reign paved the way for the British Empire. If it hadn't been for her, England would have remained an insignificant island.
Didn't think England was an island. I thought that was Britain.
Either way it changed back to insignificant when the recent Elisabeth died.
@@mortenpoulsen1496 True. And the successor is a two timing moron.
@@mortenpoulsen1496i agree
Le Ottomans: Have you seen our new Canon it's even bigger than moon.
Any history documentary with American accented narration is an instant switch off
The short answer to such unpredictable rise : John Dee.
I remember reading in a book that when the Spanish fleet was destroyed by a storm, the British made a commemorative coin
I can't remember the words they put on it tho
something like "god blew and they were scattered"
Additional information:
Take about 3 times what the Englisch raided from the Spanish and you're on the amount that Piet Hein from the Netherlands raided. All together the Dutch took 3 whole silver fleets from the Spanish loaded with silver from Peru. About the Spanish armada, 30 ships where destroyed by the Dutch before they reached English waters.
The conquering of Gibraltar, English/ Dutch undertaking. The Dutch got payed the Englisch got territory. The race build ships where by Dutch design called a spiegelship, yacht, fluit, schooner depending on it's size and arrangements. The side turn tactics and suddenn turn if a ship is called a boatlay or in Dutch bootleg where two ankers are dropped at front so the back can turn around it ending up broadside.
Is Piet any relation to Albert?
Thanks. I was not aware of this
Stay mad, Dutch man.
grammar.
Don't be silly
Wasn't it the Dutch who built the new warships? And wasn't it the boring out of the cannons that changed them so they were less likely to blow up?
Superlatives about Spain being the strongest in the world is a bit exaggerated. Certainly the strongest in Western Europe but not much beyond that.
Cast iron cannons vs brass cannons
Why didn't you mute the underlying voice? Now you have two people talking at the same time. It LOOKS like an interesting video but I'm not going through that :(
Faith is not as good as knowledge & morals.
Well in the big picture
The European just took turns in their rise to be the bearers of the most successful civilization up to this day.
First the Spanish and Portuguese
Then the Dutch and English and the French and at some extent later on the German.
They all made it possible.
From the poor peasants at the time that China India and the Eastern Roman Empire were the richest in the world. Later to become the rulers of the world.
Italy the cultural mother of these countries
Interesting that the countries that were more connected to the former Rome were the bearers of western civilization.
Are you serious 😂😂😂
Totally and completely
England was nothing when continental Europe was already rich
It was only and only because bothered Venetian banking cartel moved their power first to Netherlands then to London to the City. From there the Venetian and the British royalty started it ascension to a world power
Without the Venetian England would have been nothing.
The spiritual side has been neglected. The Spanish did cut their cables indeed but this was also due to the increasing Westerly gale. Drakes attack only removed a few of the three hundred odd ships but the storm drove the Armada up the North sea over the top of Scotland and down both sides of Ireland and only about 27 ships returned to Spain. You did not mention the large number of Dominican Friars on board either to carry out the Papal commission of the Holy Inquisition. Queen Elizabeth, having called the nation to humble prayer before God for deliverance had a painting made stating "God blew with his winds and they were scattered" you should have added these facts to your history.
Since the British turned away from God after getting rich they are going down the drain.
@@tmw007 yes, from God to Darwin. They need to repent toward God. Its similar in the USS.
"Rule Britannia, Britannia Rule the Waves" that's British Empire slogan as they the biggest ruler in the world at 19 century as we know as "Pax Britannica" or "All the world under peace of British rules"
50% tax then, 50% tax now.
This voice over is agonizing.
cartagena de india ,blas de lezo y Olavarrieta,remember.
drake was not the commander of the english fleet
Spain, a nation of honor, waging numerous wars inside and outside Europe against the turks to keep Europe safe, while Franche befriended the Turks and England, a nation of pirates, treacherously backstabbed.
Spain is the first and only both global and moral Empire.
I wish the narration wasn’t so… “exciting”. Calm down sir, it’s history, not “imminent danger”.
I wish you would do a better job of pronouncing Cádiz.
And has always, it's just has if Portugal never existed... Ridiculous
Phillip is such a jabroni with Elizabeth’s pic on his desk
English point of view
🤣🤣🤣the truth hurt your little feelings then cupcake 😂😂😂
There was no British navy in 1588.
So the Spanish armada lost to what, ghosts?
@@SKa-tt9nm The English navy. There has never been a British navy. There is the Royal Navy (R.N.).
England had ships for Defence in the medieval time sailing from the Cinque Ports but her first national Navy was initiated be Henry VIII and called the Royal Navy afterwards. Maybe Chinese history books don't cover this subject but Hong Kong would.
@@guywillson1549 England is not Britain.
@@gordonsmith4884 not then the English navy was the Royal Navy it remained the Royal navy after the Act of Union too, when foreigners would call it the British Navy.
Drake was a G
Spanish Empire please
Already done
Please give in Hind
Ww1 trenches please 🙏
😮😮😮😮😮
There's enough out there on that subject.
I didn’t ask for your opinion Red Coat..
I'm so glad I'm English 🇬🇧🏴
Yo orgullosa de ser española.
Im 2 minutes into the documentary and it kicks off with half truths and misinformation from the get go. Spain's decline didnt start with the "defeat" of the armada. It was at least a century later. England didnt defeat the armada, it was the weather as the majority of ships lost were not sunk in combant, on the other hand, the british counter armada a year later was defeated in battles and decimated. The counter armada was larger in number when compared to the Spanish armada, their losses were much higher. Bailing out on more black legend hispanophobia
England is an island?? Who knew…😂
Nobody told Tory MP Dominic raab apparently
So many people and place names are pronounced incorrectly in this documentary, which is unfortunate because the information is otherwise very interesting.
I relistenedw to the documentary and I didn’t hear anything that stood out as jarringly mispronounced. Any concrete examples?
I'm sure you'll get over it cupcake
How the tiny nation of England defeated Spain? They let the Dutch fight the Spaniards for 80 years 😂
The English/British fought France for over a thousand years:-)
@@gordonsmith4884 actually for most of the 1000 years the English and French were at peace and sometimes worked as allies.
Today when anyone hears of Drake, it’s that Canadian hip-hop star🤦🏻♂️. Talk about being on the wrong end of evolution
Is that the same drake who can't handle marijuana and cancelled his preforming in the Netherlands 3 times for being stuck in the coffeeshop smoking. So they aborted the whole show and made him pay all costs and given the promise he will never preform here any more 😆 that drake?
For the Spanish authorities of any age but mainly those os the Modern Age their most important mistake has been Considering the English and not the French the most important enemy they had. Spain and England were and are Atlantic powers whose natural enemy lies in Paris.
Exactly! France were and still a blockade for Spain
Lol okay whatever 🤣🤣🤣
this presentation does not rate for commercials. bye, thumbs down.
WW2 DOOMED The British colonial rule.
This is really a one side not really accurate story, sorry but do your research beter next time! 😑 This is not doing justice to history.
What on earth are you talking about? It's so one sided I don't know which side you mean.
Did your little fee fees get hurt cupcake 😭
@@Zazyryes, this documentary just follow the narrative full of lies of the English history.
Don't glorify colonism
Does it though? Maybe a little, but not much, and the author seems not to be British. On balance I would say it does not advocate for colonialism. We should know our history even if it can be distasteful to our modern sensibilities (which is somewhat hypocritical as colonism is alive and well, but not your or my fault, and perhaps a different debate ;-)
It is hard to glorify intestines.
L l only
Professional historians should be ashamed at getting basic facts wrong. England is not an island, England is not Britain and it is Britain, England Scotland and Wales that is an island.
good point, however England is part of an island and also in QE 1's days there was no combined "Britain". there was the Kingdom of England, the Principality of Wales and the Kingdom of Scotland until the Act of Union. Generally the documentary is a very good, quick recreation
to be fair nobody can keep up w the fractious distinctions who cares. to most people, britain is england.
Oh stop crying over nothing
@@britishpatriot7386 mind the gap mate
Bruh, it is to the rest of us non-engladians…
The bank 🏦 of England started as a business enterprise with Gold and Silver stolen from a Spanish wrecked ship found off the coast of the Bahamas 😎🙄🤠
Who did the Spanish steal the gold from?
The actions of both of them is called stealing.... one action doesn't excuse the other. Both are guilty 😔 but nobody was guarding that treasure but the gold and silver found inside that ship 🚢🚢 belonged to Spain because the ship's owners were from Spain.
One wrong action doesn't justify another....so both sre guilty under the law
King philip the first duke of Neathalands to attack England
Queen elizabeth the first
Firs fracis drake supeise attack on port of catase
English ships very fast move cannons fast
They captured slaves form africa and sold in America and got gold
Race build gallion phillip attacked british Spanish armana
Cannon balls no fire it wasn't able to sink ships. Cast iron cannons bronze
Phlip thought English fire power was not a problem cause they had better soldiers.
Fire breathing lizard Ottomans
Europeans liked bigger cannons Europeans like fast reload
Francis drake invented fire ships
Lack of and the cost of copper led to the development of iron cannons. It is an interesting link to today's welfare state in the Western world. Distress teaches naked woman to spin.
Rule Britania Britania rule the gays. British never wil be gays
Empires rise from hell
Okay whatever 🤣🤣
Rise from Hell to Heaven.
And fall from Heaven to Hell.
Go to hell for energy and to heaven for structure.
And marry both together.
They didn't "capture slaves in Africa." What the Hell did happen. The slaves that were "Captured' in Africa were captured by the so called African Kings, more aptly 'warlords' who operated along the coastline of Africa. The warlords made war upon the inland tribes with the express purpose of capturing the natives of the inland tribes bringing them as captives to the coast, and selling, trading them for anything from the Spanish, later the Dutch, Portuguese etc. The primary trade goods for the captives were weapons of any kind that were more effective than the crude weapons of the inland tribes. Nothing presented as history today is objective fact, the main thing is that it pass the political correctness test..
Yes, they were captured. By the invaders, by war lords, unscrupulous dealers etc. You’re just using semantics here which isn’t the point at all.
There were a large number of Jewish slave traders as well
@@stingingmetal9648 I'm sure that we should all wish that the Jews were guilty of all; that they're accused of..
History often not correct. But this is hardly a major edit for political correctness. There was in fighting by the tribes but western pre industrialism created the global market.
@@hauntedmoodylady bizarre comment
Because spain never existed until 1812 when it was proclaimed for the first time , as before all monarchs went with the titles of the kingdoms that were under their protection,not rule.
Also,spanish it is NOT a sole language! Check the map of domingos teixeira in 1573 and check the fçags shown there,spanish empire is a myth and it only existed in manipulated books
Britain is a laughing stock now 😂
Spain EU already defeated British by commit themself suicide on brexit. Economy shrunk and their standing army is lot worse now.
Ah yes; Spain the mighty European financial superpower of the 21st Century.
spain portugal and france were medieval europe's isis caliphate lol
How so??
These historian is anti British
Portugal it's not spain
Don't mess with the Brits we always find a way to win.
