The defeat of the Spanish Armada

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish Armada was Spain's navy, which was believed to be invincible during the 16th century. Spain's naval power had allowed it to conquer most of the New World. However, the Armada was eventually defeated by the English naval force under the command of Lord Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake. This allowed the English to challenge Spain's power and seek colonies in North America.
