Answer 1

The British defeat of the Spanish Armada allowed Great Britain to become the dominant nation in the era of European sea-born exploration.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish Armada was a fleet of ships which sailed from Spain to attack and invade Britain. The British navy was led by Sir Francis Drake. Before the war, Britain was not into sea faring.

Following the defeat in 1588, the British established themselves as a super power in sea born exploration, which inspired them to sail to far places and set up colonies for trade, eventually leading to them setting up territories at various regions in the world.
