Question

Until Queen Elizabeth Tudor consolidated her power and stabilized England, how did the English challenge Spanish sea power? HELP PLSSSS :)

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The English challenged Spanish sea power although the Spaniards were known to have the best navy of the time. What Queen Elizabeth did in 1587 was to name Lord Howard of Effingham to lead the English navy against the Spanish armada. The English nobility accepted the movement and decided to back Effingham as the leader of the British navy. He had the knack to be able to listen to more experienced voices to make decisions, as was the case of his vice-admiral Sir Francis Drake, who really was a renowned sailor.
