That's the thing with the waters around the British Isles, it's rainy season all year round. Sure, you might have a stretch of beautiful sunny days, but then a hurricane in the Caribbean sends a storm hurtling across the North Atlantic and the channel becomes impassable for weeks. Back when ships were much smaller and long-range weather forecasts were non-existent, it was basically a crap-shoot as to whether the weather would hold.
Yep It was thought that his real reason for trying to invade England was to take the throne for himself (he believed that has husband to the queen he queen he should inherit not Elizabeth) This is also because he tried to marry Elizabeth weeks after maries death. FYI his official reason for invading was because he was told to by the pope (he was mad that Elizabeth and thus England wasnt catholic so told every catholic to try and kill her, long story short no one succeeded)
@@Quinntus79 the main reason liz never married was the sexist society she lived in. If she married then even though she was the queen by blood, her husband would be in charge. So she stayed in charge her whole reign and named her relative James vi of Scotland as her heir
@@loucar10 That’s not really the reason why the Armada happened. The Armada launched in 1588 and Phillip’s marriage proposal to Elizabeth was in 1559. I don’t think Phillip II would have a grudge over a rejection for 29 years lol
It was a Dutch triumph, I think so. But forgive me for correcting you: Spain did know how to navigate to England. Spain invaded southern England in 1377 (after sinking an English fleet of 48 ships at La Rochelle 1372), 1380-81 and 1411, reaching up the Thames almost to London. Furthermore, a Spanish fleet, commanded by the Duke of Alba, arrived in England in 1554, transporting Philip II, who married Mary Tudor, Catholic and half-Spanish queen of England. So Philip II became king of England and Ireland Spain sent 4 massive invasion fleets to England, each with over 130 ships, in 1588, 1596, 1597 and 1718. All 4 were stopped by storms, with the Royal Navy completely lost in the Atlantic. Although in 1597 and 1718, 500 and 600 soldiers landed in England, which organized a little chaos there. In 1595 another Spanish operation reached England, attacked some towns and celebrated a Catholic mass there. Spain made a naval blockade of England in 1779-81, capturing two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships, including 39 war frigates, which sank the London Stock Exchange, and allowed Spain to give the dollar and independence to the USA.
For a bit of unnecessary context Elizabeth died in 1603, only a couple years after the last armada. During her latter years Elizabeth was very very ill and was thought to on the verge of a mental break. So if the spannish had actually landed on english soil she would not be able to put up much a fight, leaving most of the defence to her increasingly frustrated advisors (she spent her whole reign refusing their pleas to get married and continue the tudor blood line as she thought it was a ploy to get her to lose power)
0:21 That map is wrong ! Philip II was king of Spain but also King Philip I of Portugal . They were 2 different countries under the same king ... please correct it!!!
Leeroy jenkins was a famous wow player that one time shouted ' LEEEEROY ... JENKINS' and charged into the monsters, So he's basically saying he just charged in to much.
I notice something while studying history, so many rulers are great, powerful and strong, then they try to invade England.... Honestly it's a tiny island in the middle of the sea, why does invading it mean you have a death wish? I get Russia but not England.
In a documentary they showed how it was nearly impossible to sail a small motorboat (about the equivalent of a sail-powered Spanish galleon) into the outgoing tide. Once the Armada had cut its anchors during the fire ship attack on them, they were basically helpless, being driven by the wind across the Channel but not towards England. Spanish galleons were made Big, to haul Big loads of gold and silver from their American Empire but they were not exactly maneuverable.
I found Philip II in depression from his repeated failures to launch a massive naval invasion of England. I walked up to him, put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "Hey, Phil! What's armada wid' you?" 🤭
You don't have any idea what are you talking about. Philip II tried to invade England only once. Learn some history, please. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Armada
In 1588, Philip II's army was invading Germany. He only lost 6 ships in battle in 1588, against England (the rest were storms). In 1589, Philip II's fleet destroyed Drake's invincible fleet, which lost between 60-80 ships (without storms). That is why Spain spent another 50 years in Portugal. Elisabeth was so angry that she condemned Drake to be a lighthouse keeper. When she forgave Drake, he lost 5 battles in the Spanish Caribbean and died with his cousin Hawkings. Philip II's army invaded Paris in 1590, definitively forcing the French Huguenot king to become Catholic. Spain sent three more invasion fleets to Great Britain in 1596, 1597 and 1718, each with more than 130 ships. In 1597 and 1718, 500 and 600 soldiers landed in England, causing a little chaos there. All three were stopped by storms, with the Royal Navy lost in the Atlantic, totally unaware of Spanish plans, but we were unable to land 12,000-20,000 soldiers. Philip II of Spain arrived in England in 1554, with a fleet with 4,000 Spanish nobles and soldiers, commanded by the Duke of Alba. He married Mary Tudor, Catholic and half-Spanish queen of England. If they could have had something as easy as a child. England was saved from invasions by being an island, by storms and by some abortions. In 1779-81 Spain made a naval blockade of England, capturing two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships (among them 39 war frigates) which sank the London stock exchange, and allowed Spain to give the Spanish dollar to USA and collaborate in the independence. Other Spanish fleets invaded southern England in 1377, 1380-81 and 1411, reaching almost as far as London, across the Thames. But amphibious expeditions are always very complicated. The British made over 100 massive attacks on Spain and Spanish America in 300 years, and were only able to capture 1 in 400 parts of the Spanish empire, losing 62 ships at Cádiz 1625, 50 British ships sunk at Cartagena de Indias 1741, 3 Nelson defeats in 1797 (Cádiz, Central America and Tenerife, where he loses his arm and is captured) or the defeat of the British invasion fleet to Puerto Rico that year, and to Argentina and Uruguay in 1806-07, a year after Trafalgar, which It ended with the capture of the redcoats and the British generals. Always difficult amphibious expeditions!!
I guess the king loved it LOL. The Duke of Medina Sidonia not so much: he kept explaining he had no experience in war or naval affairs, but since he was trusted more to obey the king's orders than de Oquenqo or de Recalde, he was given the job.
Yep. 6 gallons, 150 smaller craft. Failed to take Corunna . Drake ran out of food. 15,000 English and Dutch sailors died. A little fiasco the English don't want to talk about
it was an attempt to put António on the Portuguese throne. Thing is, Spain's man in Portugal, Teodósio , actually was popular. Nobody wanted Antonio or his English buddies.
Many nations fought the Spanish at that point. One of the reasons Spain lost so much power in this era is because they were overstretched in different conflicts; failed to set priorities.
They got lucky. A storm destroyed the armada. If that storm had not happened, the Spanish would have been victorious. The English only won do to sheer dumb luck.
'Ok that's it, we're done.' Best bit in the sketch. Burst out laughing.

Both entertaining and informative. Thanks for summarising such a complex event in this way, it’s so much more easier to remember it now
"storms again? I won't be back"
Charles II is Mat best character but Philip II of Spain is fast catching...he cracks me up
Strange on how it was officially Called, The Most Invincible Armada. It's a wonder it never worked..
Yeah, well, they also called the Titanic “unsinkable.”
That name was a joke from the winner's side. The original name was The Happiest Armada (before the disaster) or just The Armada
@@EditorOfSL Solo en mentes "poco desarrolladas intelectualmente " llaman asi. Se llama y se llamo...Gran y felicisima armada..
The actual real name was the royal and happiest Armada
who would win? A powerful navy backed by the most powerful man in Europe or a stiff breeze?
I missed a huge opportunity. I have twelve ducks, three of them male and male ducks are called drakes. Not one of them is named Francis.
Mitzi the evil ferret ok
You’ll have to get another duck and name it Francis!
1:15 when Mat said "gracias" ❤❤❤❤As a Spanish fan I died
hahaha couldn't help laughing at the tiny villiage in cornwall, spanish armada 2 and spanish armada 3&4
Can't wait for this movie hehe :D
I'm highly amused that they kept sailing in bad weather. Surely they knew how to predict a rainy season by that time
"This Island is invincible!"
William of the Netherlands: "Huh. Dat was gemakkelijk"
Napoleon and Hitler: "Write that down...write that down....."

Phillip II died in 1598
Thank you horrible histories for giving me all of the answeres to my homework! ;)

not me using this as revision
I notice something while studying history, so many rulers are great, powerful and strong, then they try to invade England....
Honestly it's a tiny island in the middle of the sea, why does invading it mean you have a death wish? I get Russia but not England.
It´s because of treacherous rocks and cliffsides and winds that usually go in the wrong direction. Holland did succeed in 1688.
In a documentary they showed how it was nearly impossible to sail a small motorboat (about the equivalent of a sail-powered Spanish galleon) into the outgoing tide.
Once the Armada had cut its anchors during the fire ship attack on them, they were basically helpless, being driven by the wind across the Channel but not towards England. Spanish galleons were made Big, to haul Big loads of gold and silver from their American Empire but they were not exactly maneuverable.
The mighty Royal Navy! 💪🏴⚓
That's because Elizabeth can command the wind, sir ;)
I'm picturing a messenger every year dropping a little envelope saying "Memo: Armada" and only the word "tormenta" as the note
That's my history revision done for the week
Way better than Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
