Answer:

Gained a reputation as a major naval power

English population was growing rapidly

Economy was depressed

Poor and landless people increased

<h2>How did the English fleet defeat the Spanish armada?</h2>

Actually, they had more ships. Although there were organizational issues due to the fact that many of the ships were privately owned, the English were able to mobilize nearly 40% more ships when the Spanish arrived, many of them seasoned privateers who were familiar with Spanish ships and tactics.

The British had more training in cannon strategy. When the Armada was passing through the Channel, it didn't really matter because the majority of both sides' bullets either missed or didn't do any harm. However, as the Armada attempted to flee Antwerp, the combat was intense and the British continued to fire at a destructive rate, effectively turning the Armada into Swiss cheese. The crews of the Armada's numerous cannons were unorganized and frequently abandoned them when the fighting became intense.

Playing on their home field (surf? ), the English. The British tides' power was not well known to the Spanish. They would spot a fleet of British ships off the coast, turn to face the British ships with a strong wind at their backs, and make little progress. The Armada was fighting tides that, even now, may keep a motor vessel from moving forward, and the British sort of laughed at them.

putting the opponent under attack. The Spanish expected to load up their invading forces when they got to Antwerp, but they weren't there. They had to sit. The British could have simply allowed them to do so, but they chose to attack instead and employed a deception play. A frequent strategy back then was to pack a ship with explosives, wind it into a harbor, and then light it on fire. The British had enough ships, but not enough explosives, so they lit them on fire and let them float into Antwerp. In a fit of hysteria, the Armada sailed away from the harbor and into the arms of the waiting British.

In Great Britain, the wind typically blows from the west. With their preparations in tatters, the Armada decided to try to sail back via the Channel. However, they discovered they had to tack against the prevailing winds, which were blowing in the British navy's direction. While straining to tack against the high gusts, Armada ships trying to sail through the British blockade were sitting ducks for British cannon fire. This was because the British had sealed the Channel. The North Sea was the only route out, and it was entirely the wrong one.
A Strong Current. The Armada's surviving soldiers attempted to circumnavigate the British Isles by sea. They took the wind into consideration, but they were unaware of the Gulf Stream, which propelled them far farther east than they had anticipated. Numerous ships were damaged by the Irish shore.


Thanks,

How are isolationism and nativism related ? in the 1920s what action did americans take that reveal their distrust of others?
KatRina [158]
<span>Isolationism tends to be borne out of a sense of nativism: that is, the idea that we are the best country among others tends to make us wary of wanting to help other nations. In the '20s, this idea that we shouldn't entangle ourselves in the arguments of other nations led to the US taking an isolationist stance on world diplomatic matters.</span>
