The document summarizes the Anglo-Spanish War from 1585-1604. It describes how tensions arose between England and Spain due to privateering against Spanish ships. England sought to break Spain's monopoly on Atlantic trade. In 1585, the Treaty of Nonsuch was signed, which Spain saw as a declaration of war. In 1587, Queen Elizabeth had Mary Queen of Scots executed in retaliation. Spain then planned an invasion of England with the Spanish Armada in 1588. However, the Armada was defeated by storms and the English navy. Though Spain rebuilt its navy, the war did not officially end until the Treaty of London in 1604.

2. The Spanish Armada battled against the English fleet led by Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Francis Drake.
3. After a series of battles and damage from storms, the Spanish Armada was defeated, marking the rise of English naval power and allowing England to pursue colonization of North America over Spain.
What caused the armada to fail
The document summarizes the events of the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the English navy in 1588. It describes how the English ships were better equipped and more maneuverable than the Spanish fleet. When a storm hit, the Spanish ships were scattered while the English remained intact. Many Spanish ships were damaged or sunk trying to sail along the coast of Ireland to return home. The decisive end for the Spanish Armada came when a strong storm forced many of their damaged ships onto the rocky coasts of Scotland and Ireland, effectively destroying the Spanish invasion force.
Pp the Spanish Armada
In the late 16th century, Philip II of Spain launched the Spanish Armada in an attempt to invade England and convert it back to Catholicism under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. The Spanish Armada consisted of around 122 ships carrying over 30,000 men that set sail from Lisbon, Portugal in 1588. However, the Spanish Armada was defeated by the English navy through battles in the English Channel that resulted in the destruction of the Spanish ships, with only 87 returning to Spain. The failed invasion marked a decline in Spanish power and affirmed England's independence.

This document provides an overview of the history of piracy in the Caribbean region from the 15th to 18th centuries. It describes how the discovery of America by Columbus and conquests by the Spanish led to wealth that privateers and pirates sought to capture. Notable pirates mentioned include Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Martin Frobisher, Henry Morgan, and Blackbeard. Pirate ships were often run as democracies, with captains elected and spoils shared equally. Piracy declined as European powers sought to protect trade in the late 17th century.
2.3_England_before_1607
Queen Elizabeth I ruled England from 1558 to 1603 and strengthened England's military and expanded its empire during her reign. Sir Francis Drake, a famous privateer known as a "Sea Dog", circumnavigated the globe and helped defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588 through his naval expertise. The defeat of the Spanish Armada marked a decline of Spain's power and the beginning of England's rise as a naval power, allowing it to colonize North America. English colonization efforts in North America began with the unsuccessful Roanoke colony and later the founding of Jamestown in 1607 under King James I.

12 The Imperial Era
The United States entered this contest shortly after achieving inde-
pendence ("playing the European Game," as Mark Twain would acidly
observe). Having established national sovereignty, U.S. leaders would
seek to extend territorial reach over European colonies and prevent other
powers from challenging this expansion. As a result, U.S. relations with
Latin America during the nineteenth century represented a continuation
and culmination of European incursions into and struggles over the New
World that dated back to the late fifteenth century.
From the outset, in other words, the United States was an aspiring
imperial power. It entered the international arena as a relatively minor, al -
most insignificant actor; within a century the young nation became a for-
midable contender. The United States embarked on its imperial course
neither by impulse, miscalculation, or accident. Its behavior represented
long-term policy and national purpose. As historian William Appleman
Williams has observed, "Americans thought of themselves as an empire at
the outset of their national existence. . . . Having matured in an age of
empires as part of an empire, the colonists naturally saw themselves in the
same light once they joined issue with the mother country." 1 In an ethical
sense, U.S . conduct was neither better nor worse than that of other ambi-
tious powers. All played by the same rules of the game.
Once engaged in this contest, the United States adapted its policy in
accordance with conditions and circumstances particular to the New
World. While European powers engaged primarily in colonization of
overseas possessions, the United States tended to rely, first, on territorial
acquisition and absorption, and, second, on the estaplishment and preser-
vation of informal spheres of influence. The means thus varied, but the
ends were much the same.
European Rivalry in the New World

immediately after Christopher Columbus announced his earth-shattering

Spanish empire
The House of Habsburg was a powerful royal dynasty in Europe from the 11th-18th centuries. Through strategic marriages, they accumulated territories including Spain, Austria, Burgundy, Bohemia, and Hungary. While the Austrian branch continued, the Spanish Habsburgs died out in 1700 after King Charles II's death. Inbreeding over many generations weakened the Spanish branch and contributed to their extinction, as Spain declined in the late 17th century during economic troubles and wars.
Unit 7 the spanish empire
The document provides an overview of the Spanish Empire during the 16th century, which was marked by the reign of the Habsburg monarchs Carlos I and Felipe II. It discusses their domestic and foreign policies, including Carlos I inheriting kingdoms across Europe and fighting wars against France and the Ottoman Empire, and Felipe II establishing Madrid as the capital and fighting conflicts in the Netherlands and against England. It also summarizes the conquest of the Aztec and Inca Empires in the Americas in the 1520s and 1530s, and the consequences of the discovery, such as Spain and Portugal becoming colonial empires and the introduction of new crops and livestock to Europe and America.
The spanish empire and habsburg spain
The Spanish Empire reached its peak during the 16th and 17th centuries under the Habsburg dynasty, controlling territory from the Americas to the East Indies. Spain focused on colonizing the Americas for exploration and resources. However, involvement in European religious wars drained Spain financially and led to the loss of European possessions by the early 18th century, though Spain retained control of its overseas empire.
After The Armada The Resilience And Resurgence Of The Spanish Monarchy Durin...
This document is a student paper analyzing the resilience of the Spanish monarchy during the Anglo-Spanish War following the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. It includes an introduction outlining Spain's vast empire in the 16th century and the growing tensions with England that led to war. The first chapter examines how, despite the Armada's defeat, Spain was able to recover its naval power through rearmament and technological development, moving away from Mediterranean galley warfare to ships suited for the Atlantic. Overall, the document argues that Spain adapted its naval capabilities and remained a formidable sea power after its high-profile loss to England.
The Spanish Empire
The Spanish Empire originated during the Age of Exploration and consisted of territories in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania administered by Spain. Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492 led to Spain settling the Caribbean and conquering the Aztec and Inca empires in North and South America in the 16th century. At its peak in the 18th century, Spain had expanded across North America and the Pacific, though most of its remaining colonies like Cuba and Puerto Rico were lost to the United States in the 19th century after the Spanish-American War.
Theme 3 part 2
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire between the 15th-18th centuries. It describes how the reconquest of Spain from the Moors was completed in 1492 under Isabella I and Ferdinand II, who expelled the Jews and Muslims. The Spanish Golden Age occurred in the 16th-17th centuries due to silver from Mexico, though inflation set in later. The Spanish Habsburg dynasty bankrupted Spain through wars. The Spanish Empire declined due to plague, rebellions, and the War of Spanish Succession that brought the Bourbon dynasty to the throne in the early 18th century.
