pPEngland would be a useful addition to Phillip’s empire

pPElizabeth I’s hesitation indicated England’s weaknesses

compared with Spain

pPSpain and the papcy had backed Catholic plots against

Elizabeth

TASK 2: Create a speech to explain why the Spanish Armada failed? You should aim to include the following points; English Naval tactics, Superior English ships, weather, Poor communication between the Spanish and Dutch fleets,

and the poor supplies for the Armada

Example B

Although, Philip II launched the Armada in 1588, he decided to attack England in 1585 after years of worsening relations with Elizabeth I. Both English involvement in the Netherlands ( the treaty of Nonsuch) and raids on Spanish colonies were important reasons. However, Philip II’s religious beliefs also explained his decision.

The Treaty of Nonsuch was signed by Elizabeth I in 1585. It promised to finance 7,400 soldiers to help the Dutch Protestant rebels fight the Spanish. Elizabeth sent an army to the Netherlands under the Earl of Leicester. The Netherlands belonged to Spain so this meant that England and Spain were effectively at war. Philip II was even angrier when Leicester accepted the title of Governor General of the Netherlands. Philip II saw it as Elizabeth trying to depose him. This was unacceptable and he could not ignore it. So the Treaty of Nonsuch was important in contributing to his decision to attack England.

Elizabeth I also sent Drake to raid Spain and Spanish settlements in America in October 1585. These were part of a series of English raids against Spain. Earlier, in 1577, when Drake began his circumnavigation of the globe, Elizabeth I ordered him to attack Spanish settlements. When Drake returned, she knighted him, but Philip II saw Drake as a pirate. IT was after the 1585 raids that Philip II told the Pope he intended to invade England. Drake’s raids triggered Philip II’s decision.

Philip II’’s religious beliefs did not directly lead to the Armada, but were important. The pope wanted Catholics

13

Example A

Phillip II was the king of Spain. He wanted to marry Elizabeth when she first became queen, but she refused. She did not want to get married because she would be expected to obey her husband.

The Treaty of Nonsuch said England would finance an army of 7,400 troops to help the Dutch rebels. Elizabeth chose Robert Dudley to lead the army. Philip II thought England should stay out of the Netherlands as they belonged to Spain. This treaty would have made Philip want to attack England.

Drake has been attacking Spanish colonies in America. It is thought that Phillip II decided to attack England after raids in 1585. Drake made lots of money raiding Spanish ships and ports and Elizabeth supported him.

Philip II did not like Protestantism. He has sent a big army to the Netherlands in 1567 to get rid of it there. Since then, Elizabeth had helped anyone who was prepared to fight against the Spanish. She let English ships attack Spanish ships. Also, Philip was involved in lots of plots against Elizabeth. By the time Philip II launched the Amada, relations with England had been bad for a long time. However, the Armada was defeated by the English and destroyed as the Spanish ships sailed home around Scotland.

vTASK 3: Read through the two example answer for the question ‘Explain why Phillip II launched the Armada against England in 1588’ (12 marks)

3b) For each decide using the mark scheme what level you think it would achieve and then summarise the key differences (why is one better than the other)
