England has angered Spain for a long time. Stealing from spanish ships was the last straw. King Philip wanted to spread the Catholic religion in the New World. But England was a threat to that movement. Attacking England and taking over it was the best idea. Maybe that would of have stopped the English from taking from their ships with gold in them. Philip built the Spanish Armada of 130 warships. When the spanish attacked, they thought that the English would not be ready. He was wrong. King Philip never noticed that Queen Elizabeth had formed a fleet called the English Navy.
