**ARTICLE:**
Defeat of the Spanish Armada

We are in 1583, Britain's Queen Elizabeth I was causing serious headaches for constantly harassing the Spanish crown colony caribbean backed privateers aided by the queen. The Spanish King Philip II were added to him the concerns, the rebels of Flanders had to be defeated quickly but the war was stretching and Spanish resources were reduced. As a single solution to all his problems the Spanish king had already some time thinking about invading Britain to overthrow Elizabeth I, while rebels surround the Netherlands joining the fleet at an army led by Alexander Farnese that he would head there by land. After consulting Alvaro de Bazan, reputed sailor, it seemed that the idea could be implemented. Preparing a large fleet that would have some 130 warships that began in 1584.

Shortly before starting the expedition Alvaro de Bazan dies, which some experts would be part of what would drastically change the fate of the fleet. In his place he was appointed, very reluctantly, inexperienced in military arts of 38 year old Alfonso Perez de Guzman, Duke of Medina Sidonia VII. Bound by the monarch he took over the army and the May 20, 1588 the Spanish Armada left Lisbon, struggling along the coast to La Coruña. Until July 21 did not abandon this port to enter, a week later, in the English Channel.

The contingent consisted of a total of 130 ships, including 60 galleons, 4 and 4 galleys galleys involving a total of 57,808 tons and 2,431 artillery pieces. In order to organize such a monstrous fleet, it was decided to divide it into squares designated by the name of the locality in which the ships were built. The crew consisted of 7,050 sailors, 2,088 rowers, 17,017 soldiers and 1,388 auxiliary among servants, religious and adventurous, total 27 543 men.

The battle with the Anglo-Dutch fleet began at the height of Calais, at this point the Spanish fleet had already had some losses due to disorganization and bad weather (storms that the fleet could not resist), increased wear that had only just begun. The English fleet battle not formally presented it sought to follow the armed and constantly harassing her, keeping well located and monitored, which eliminated the Spanish surprise.

Although the Spanish superiority in ships and men was overwhelming, the fast and light English ships were superior in maneuverability. Heavy Spanish galleons could not avoid temporary or pursue English ships while they maneuvered around the invincible with lightness and agility.

The victorious fleet of Lepanto never won a battle to be properly presented, facing front. By contrast constant skirmishes and harassment by the English, who was undermining the status of the Spanish fleet along with inclement weather followed.

After a needed break in the French port of Calais, the fleet was replenished and try to contact unsuccessfully with the land army of the Duke of Parma, who was still far away. The funding of the fleet in Calais was made possible by the French, neutral to the conflict, were also Catholics and united them a grudge against the English.

Shortly after leaving Calais, a little further north and into the canal she saw the largest skirmish, although it was still not a real battle. At the height of Graveline a British fleet commanded by the pirate Drake began the attack on the Spanish fleet long distance and avoiding collision with the aim of delaying what seemed an inevitable invasion. When the English fleet ran out of ammunition began to withdraw to the north, but not just low.

The large Spanish fleet was still suffering the storms in the narrow English Channel while the English and Dutch thanks to its versatility ships damaged in the heavy floating fortresses of the Spanish in skirmishes, the British also used small incendiary boats called fire ships to sow chaos in the large Spanish training. On the night of 8 to 9 August, the Spaniards lost about 15 ships and 5,000 men because of the fire ships, the situation was untenable.

The Anglo-Dutch fleet regrouped and harassed by the invincible south steadily, as was the continued wear, added to the bad news about the army of the Duke of Parma was not ready for the invasion, Medina Sidonia, after withstand attacks for several day decided to retire to the North Sea on July 28.

Fleeing the English south, Medina Sidonia went into a storm that swept the fleet further north, the English coast were filled with remains of Spanish ships that were shipwrecked on the reefs and the British and Irish coasts. Invincible was already very different from that left Cadiz. The lack of food and water, storms and diseases caused much more damage than previous bouts.

In battles with the British they killed about 1,500 men and 18,000 men in route back home. Only they reached about 10,000 of the total 30,000 men who left Lisbon. Spain's losses were around 20,000 men, 40 million ducats and about 100 ships. Just returned home about 66 ships.

Isabel I did not realize his victory until some time. The Spanish catastrophe had been so fragmented and dispersed the victors, unaware of the position of the fleet, invincible feared had taken refuge in safe harbor. British losses were also high, mostly by the plague that spread among sailors and soldiers.

The failure of Felipe II assured Northern nations hitherto mediocre future maritime supremacy. It was also a triumph of Protestantism of Elizabeth I.
