Voyages and Spanish Armada?
For example, the voyages of discovery allowed English naval power to grow and this was vital in defeating the Armada in 1588. It was English seamanship perfected on these overseas voyages that won victory which in turn helped to unite the country behind Elizabeth. English naval power continued to develop, gaining colonies, discovering new goods and confirming for many Elizabethans that they lived in a ‘Golden Age’.
