Beginning of Britain’s Struggle with Spain

1. With the appearance of factories British exports to other countries increased. British shipping developed rapidly. The merchants carried cloth, coal and fish in their ships to European countries and colonies.
2. Spain which had the biggest colonies, was Britain’s main rival in sea trade. The Spanish government forbade foreign merchants to trade with Spanish colonies. But they ignored the prohibition, and British pirates pillaged the Spanish coast and made daring expeditions to the shores of America. Spanish ships carrying gold and silver from America often became the pirates’ prey. Special merchants’ companies were formed in Britain to organize pirate expeditions against the Spaniards.
3. Queen Elizabeth I (1558 –1603) patronized trade and navigation. A big fleet was built during her reign. The Queen secretly supported the pirates and received part of their booty. The most successful of the pirates became admirals in the Royal Navy.
4. Spain began to prepare for an invasion of Britain. A huge fleet of 130 ships sailed to Britain with 20 000 soldiers aboard. They were to land in the mouth of the Thames. Confident of their victory, the Spaniards called their fleet the “Invincible Armada”.
5. In 1588 British troops attacked the Spanish fleet in the English Channel. There were sea battles for two weeks. The light and speedy British vessels, manned by experienced sailors, fired at the enemy fleet at long range, and damaged, burnt and sank many ships. The Spaniards suffered heavy losses. Their fleet was driven into the North Sea, and they tried to sail home round Scotland. Only a few ships reached home.
6. The defeat of the “Invincible Armada” undermined Spain’s naval power, while Britain gradually came to dominate the sea and became a strong sea power.
