Question

Which event allowed Great Britain to become the dominant nation in the era of European sea-born exploration?

A) the end of the Glorious Revolution
B) the effects of the French Revolution
C) the British defeat of the Spanish Armada
D) the success of Vasco da Gama's expedition to India

Answer 1

The British defeat of the Spanish Armada resulted in the British Navy being the dominant world sea-power until World War II.

Answer 2

The answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mammoth Spanish intrusion armada was finished by 1587, yet Sir Francis Drake's challenging strike on the Armada's provisions in the port of Cadiz deferred the Armada's flight until May 1588. Deferred by tempests that incidentally constrained it back to Spain, the Armada did not achieve the southern bank of England until July 19. The thrashing of the Spanish Armada in 1588 has for some time been held as one of England's most prominent military accomplishments, and an indication of the quality and soul bestowed to the nation by the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. In any case, some later students of history guarantee that the English triumph was close to a fortunate mishap.
