Austria-Hungary had control over Serbia, but Serbia did not like that fact. A group of terrorist Serbians called "The Black Hand" assassinated Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary to assert their frustration over them. This started opening up some of the secret alliances, and Austria-hungary and Serbia went to war. Germany was allied with Austria-hungary at the time, so they joined the fight and declared war on Russia, one of Serbia's allies. Then Germany declared war on France, who had England backing them up. Finally, Germany sank of the United States's ships (actually multiple), thus causing almost all major countries to go at war with one another.

Answer:
The correct answer is: Spain sent a fleet of ships called the Spanish Armada to crush the English Navy.
Explanation:
In 1566, the Dutch had rebelled against the Spanish, as the Netherlands was one of many Spanish Colonies. The main reason for the rebellion was the fact that many of the Dutch citizens become Protestants and because of that, they were persecuted by Catholic Spain. Spaniards sent an army to the Netherlands to fight the rebellion.
Catholic Spain also was a threat to England (they also become Protestants), so queen Elizabeth decided to help the Dutch.
In 1584, Spain allied with the <em>French Catholic League</em> to fight against Protestants in the Netherlands. In response, Elizabeth signed the <em>Treaty of Nonsuch</em> in 1585 where she promised to send an army to the Netherlands to fight against Spaniards.
This battle is considered a declaration of war against Spain. King Philip II began the preparations to send the Spanish Armada to invade England. This battle was one of the largest in the Anglo-Spanish War between 1585 and 1604. The <u>defeat of the Spanish Armada</u> brought Elizabeth great popularity and fame among England.
