- Did you know that the Spanish Armada was defeated as much by storms as by the English navy? This video is all about King Philip II of Spain’s Enterprise of England, and his defeat at the hands of The Royal Navy of Elizabeth I of England in 1588.
The 1588 Spanish Armada was a fleet of 132 ships assembled by King Philip II of Spain (r. 1556-1598) to invade England, his 'Enterprise of England'. The Royal Navy of Elizabeth I of England (r. 1558-1603) met the Armada in the English Channel and, thanks to superior manoeuvrability, better firepower, and bad weather, the Spanish were defeated.
After the battle, the remains of the Armada were then obliged to sail around the dangerous shores of Scotland and so more ships and men were lost until only half of the fleet eventually made it back to Spanish waters. The English-Spanish war continued, and Philip tried to invade with future naval expeditions, but the defeat of the 1588 Armada became the stuff of legend, celebrated in art and literature and regarded as a mark of divine favour for the supremacy of Protestant England over Catholic Spain.

How different do you think history would be if the Spanish Armada had won?
I noticed that this channel is euro-centric. If that’s the case, please let us know. Cheers
Love your shirt , and of course brilliant vid
Wonderful video. The song "Dragon on the Sea" by Ayreon is a really glorious musical depiction of Elizabeth's fleet.
THANK YOU
Of course we know it was the weather... Royal Navy is a debatable term
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, just what I needed. I do enjoy the Spanish losing this one for some strange reason haha
English Counter armada of 1589 was a bigger defeat for the English.

Best in the World, our Naval Fleet, now look at us. Queen Victoria's favourite grandson Wilhelm ii of Germany was made Admiral of the British Fleet prior to WW1, he also started the Isle of White Yacht race. He Actually told his German Navy to stay in port until his ousting by his own Generals during the first few months of our appalling slaughter of innocent people, which has never stopped
