LEARNING TARGET One of the reasons why the Spanish Armada was sent to England was because Phillip II wanted to convert England to Catholicism but queen Elizabeth was Protestant. Another reason why the Armada was sent to England was that queen Elizabeth gave people a license to be a pirate, called privateers which had keep attacking him and not getting punished. One last reason i saw was that Queen Elizabeth rejected Phillips marriage proposal not giving him power over England. A big reason why the Spanish Armada was defeated was that England would set ships on fire and send them into Spanish ships, causing there ships to crash or catch fire. Another thing England did that was an impact in defeating the Spanish was they used more small and faster ships where they could dart between Spanish ships and be more effective in the battle. My final reason is when the Spanish was in the north sea the Spanish hit a huge series of storms which took over 60 of there ships and England had prayed for a storm or something to come and help aid England against the Armada. [] My glogster that I created shows queen Elizabeth I and Phillip II, it shows the Spanish Armanda and two videos on the queen and the prince. Also Blackbeard the most well known pirate of that time which in England you could get a license to be a pirate and the pirates attacked Spanish ships. This is the rivalry of the absolute monarch queen Elizabeth and prince Phillip. Also what they did to each other in a way.
