The defeat of the Spanish Armada was the beginning of Britain's dominance of the sea

The Spanish Invincible Team was a fleet formed by the King of Spain to expedition to Britain. Since the mid-16th century, capitalism has developed rapidly. It has often conducted smuggling trade with the Spanish colonies, intercepted Spanish convoys transporting property, and attacked Spanish colonial strongholds. King Philip II of Spain decided to send a large army on an expedition to England.

In May 1588, the Armada, led by the grand nobleman Medina Sidonia, departed Spain. The Lang force consisted of 130 ships and transports, 7,000 sailors and sailors, and 23,000 infantry.

From July 21 to 29 (from the end of July to the beginning of August), the fleet was met by the British Navy in the English Channel, causing heavy losses. He was later forced to return home via Scotland. While passing near the northern coast of Scotland, the fleet was almost wiped out by a storm.

From then on, Spain's maritime hegemony was replaced by Britain.
