July 29, 1588 – The Spanish Invincible Fleet is defeated by the British Navy in the English Strait.
The Invincible Fleet (French: La Felicissima Armada; modern Spanish: La Armada Invencible) was sent by King Philip II of Spain in 1588 to conquer the vast and defeated fleet of England. The role of the Invincible Fleet was the largest battle in the English War and the first aggressive attack in the course of the war. This was also the most famous period in British history. In the Battle of Gravelines, the Spanish ships were scattered by the British Navy led by Francis Drake, and the secret weapons used by the British army were called hell burners, eight ships burned and filled with drugs. The Invincible Fleet had about 150 or more large warships, which had been defeated by the British when they wanted to retreat to the south, but because of the strong south wind and impossible, the remaining fleet had to follow the wind to the north, and finally around the island of Great Britain and the western shore of Ireland returned to the country only 43 ships, due to the loss of more than a hundred large warships and more than 14 thousand soldiers, from which the country's prettiest Spain was not vigorous, England became a maritime power, and opened the rise of Elizabeth I. History is over, windshields flow, and the invincible fleet of Spain is replaced by the British Empire.
