Question

Question 1. Discuss the tensions between England and Spain, explaining why Spain wanted war with England.

Answer 1

The Tensions arose due to the English Queen Elizabeth supporting Dutch Rebels in the Low Country, and English raids on Spanish commerce. Whilst he battle of the armada was anything but. As the English at that time had outclassed the Spaniards cannon-wise so they simply thinned out the far superior Spanish armada and eventually crushed their remnants forcing them to retreat around Scotland where many sunk.
