WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! Do you know who was Felipe II???? You need to know him a little bit!!!

Philip II was the king of Spain from 1556 and the king of Portugal from 1580 to his death in 1598. He was a powerful Roman Catholic ruler. During his reign he went to war with several European countries. He was married four times. One of his wives was Mary I of England.

PHILIP II (FELIPE II)

Philip was born on May 21, 1527, in Valladolid, Spain. He was the son of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. Through his father Philip received the Duchy of Milan (1540), the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily (1554), and the Netherlands (1555). When his father gave up the throne of Spain in 1556, Philip became Philip II of Spain. After 1559 he never left Spain, so his subjects in the other areas never saw him.

Don't you know me???? SAME ON YOU!!!

BUT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? THESE KIDS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ARMADA INVENCIBLE!!!!!! ARE YOU CRAZY?

SHAME!!! IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

Why is the 1588 battle with the Spanish Armada so famous?

The Armada is famous because at that time England was a small nation with a little navy and they were facing the greatest power in the world (Spain). They defeated Spain, with help from Mother Nature. It marked the beginning of England's mastery of the seas.

The great history of the English navy began, as did serious English exploration and colonization.
