In 1588, the English fleet led by Sir Francis Drake defeated the Spanish Armada, one of the most famous battles in British history.

The Spanish Armada was a large fleet of 130 ships sent by King Philip II of Spain to invade England and restore Catholicism to the country.

The English fleet was much smaller with only about 200 ships, but it was better trained and more experienced.

The English victory was down to the use of fire ships and superior tactics.

After their defeat, the Spanish ships were scattered by a storm, and many of the ships were lost at sea.

The victory of the English fleet over the Spanish Armada was a major turning point in English history and a great boost to English morale.
