Both documents state that the ships used by England were lighter and less top heavy which enabled them to fire broadsides and travel in windy weathers.]]> 2019-01-15 21:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321020027 King Henry VIII started a reformation just so he could divorce his wife.

Also, Philip II wanted to stay in control of England so he proposed to Elizabeth but was denied. He tried proposing multiple times but Elizabeth kept saying no, so Philip decided to take England by force justin_shim1_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321021099 2019-01-15 21:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321021099 Faster and Better Warships gavin_leonard2_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321021596 The Swallowe was listed as one of the Queen's ships weighing at 308 tons which was captained by Richard Hawkins, son of the famous John Hawkins. The Swallowe was an example of a new series of faster and more maneuverable warships that allowed them to fire broadside.

This photo is not reliable although the painter was very well known in the description it said it was meant to show the queen's greatness so not sure it was real. This was released after the death of queen Elizabeth to celebrate the queen's greatness. This painting shows a lot of naval ships around one last ship. ]]> 2019-01-15 21:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321022355 Elizabeth's I's Speech justin_shim1_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321022766 This document is about Elizabeth's speech before they fight against the Spanish. In the speech it states "I know I have the weak body of a female, but I have the heart of a king, and I will not allow any king to invade my nation." Elizabeth announces that she will fight even though she knows she is not strong, and this gives her troops the strength needed for them to fight against the Spanish.]]> 2019-01-15 21:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321022766 The Armada's Progress brayden_olsen2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321023362 This source is a map of where the naval fleet was going to go. This is a reliable source because this route is the reason the Spaish failed to get to England. The map shows the failure of the Spainsh trying to go to England and from their mistake, they had to go all the way around the British Isles to get back to Spain and this was thought to have been a very low success rate.]]> 2019-01-15 22:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321023362 Supply Shortages gavin_leonard2_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321023698 The English fleet was in short supply of materials because people were refusing to supply them in fear of not getting paid back by the Queen. Rulers had a bad reputation for paying debts. Sir Owen Hopton was ordered to take said people and put them in prison for not following Royal Orders. At the same time the Armada was sailing up the English channel and invasion seemed likely. The source is from a letter sent to Sir Owen Hopton from the Privy Council. This source is reliable because it was a part of government giving direct orders to a lieutenant of the Tower of London. ]]> 2019-01-15 22:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321023698 Spanish Retreat gavin_leonard2_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024601 The English fleet was following the retreating Spanish Armada but had to return to port to replenish their food and water storage. They had also run low of gun powder and ammunition. The Spanish Armada was followed until they passed Newcastle. The source is from a letter written by Sir Thomas Fenner, a captain of one of the English ships. The source is reliable because he was there as they were following the Spanish Armada. ]]> 2019-01-15 22:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024601 Armada Defeated brayden_olsen2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024607 This source was a quote written by William Camden. This man was a historian and was very reliable back in the day so he is reliable now. This quote explains how when the Spanish fleet was coming, English men were not scared and the Spanish fleeted got defeated. This quote was a memory of Queen Elizabeth to show the happiness everyone had during her reign.]]> 2019-01-15 22:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024607 Flagship of the Queen's Navy justin_shim1_2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024869 This document is the woodcut of a ship believed to be the Ark Royal. The ship had four masts and 50 guns built into it and was built for speed and maneuverability. Also, this ship was a lot sleeker and less top heavy compared to older designs. All of these features on the ship gave it many advantages against the Spanish ships. These ships could fire broadsides using the cannons placed along the length of the ship and they could travel easier in windy weathers compared to the Spanish  ]]> 2019-01-15 22:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321024869 brayden_olsen2 https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321276740 The English won because of their good naval ships and techniques, their patriotism and unitedness of the country, and just because the Spanish made poor choices.]]> 2019-01-16 15:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/brayden_olsen2/376se09eyrgr/wish/321276740
