Anglo-Spanish War (1585)

The Anglo-Spanish War of 1585–1604 was a conflict between the kingdoms of England under Elizabeth I and Spain under Philip II. The war opened with victory for the English at Cádiz in 1587 and over the Spanish Armada in 1588, but the Elizabethans were unable to follow up their victories and the war after the Armada went increasingly in Spain's favour.
