The Spanish Armada was a Spanish fleet of 130 ships that sailed from A Coruña in May 1588 with the purpose of escorting an army to invade England.

The destruction of the Spanish Armada affected the exploration and settlement in the New World as it advanced the colonizing of North America′s Atlantic coast.
