Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings to life the historic naval battle that determined the course of Western civilization, the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The author sets the scene in 1588, when England's Protestant Queen Elizabeth I faced off against the might of the Catholic Spanish Empire. The Spanish sent their most powerful fleet, the Armada, to invade England and restore Catholicism. But the English fleet, led by Lord Howard and Sir Francis Drake, was smaller and more maneuverable. They used their superior seamanship to harry the lumbering Spanish ships, forcing them into a running battle up the English Channel. Despite being outnumbered, and outgunned, the English prevailed. The Spanish fleet was scattered and pursued relentlessly by the English and Dutch ships. Many Spanish ships were sunk or captured, and the rest were forced to flee around the north of Scotland and Ireland, suffering further losses from storms and shipwreck. The defeat of the Armada was a major turning point in English history, confirming their status as a leading naval power and ushering in a golden age of exploration and colonization for England. This book provides a thrilling account of one of the most famous battles in naval history, and explores its wider historical significance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
