Answer:

Challenge to the rule of Queen Elizabeth I

Step-by-step explanation:

During the early years of Elizabeth’s reign Catholic Spain (the most powerful country in the world at that time) and Protestant England remained friendly. Over time tension built up leading to war in 1585 and an invasion of England in 1588, known as the Spanish Armada.
