Richard Grenville, being in the ship called the Revenge, went into the Spanish fleet and shot among them, doing them great hurt; and thinking the rest of the company would have followed: which they did not, but left him there and sailed away. The cause why, could not be known. Which the Spaniards perceiving, with seven or eight ships they boarded her: but she withstood them all, fighting with them, at the least, twelve hours together: and sank two of them. . . . But, in the end, by reason of the number that came upon her, she was taken; to their great loss: for they had lost in fighting and by drowning, above four hundred men. Of the Englishmen, there were slain about a hundred.”

In Wilson’s fourteen point the main goal of removing German troops from occupied lands to
blagie [28]
The main goal to demiliterise Germany was to ensure that she could not hold aggression and threaten the other nations across the border.

Rhineland of Germany was demilitarised as there are other nations nearby, and it is the shortest route to countries like France. It is therefore demilitarized with all troopa removed. This eliminated the potential of Germany launching a surprise attack in aggression, thus fufilling the goal of fourteen points to keep peace across nations.
