0:25 Spanish cannons looked different and didn't have wheels. Instead they were attached to the wall of the boat which meant that it would eventually pull the ship apart.
Figures: Spanish armada 1588 vs English armada 1589:
Spanish armada- 1.800 spanish causalities& 5 ships sunk (just considering causalities by english weapons).
English armada- 13.000 english dead or captured+ other 5.000 english desertors+30 ships sunk or captured (just considering causalities by Spanish weapons).
LOOOOL compare! and remember that the anglo-spanish war of 1585-1604 was a spanish victory.

i have to do a project about the spanish armada too >.< but anyway what lvl did u get on that its pretty cool and unique the way u made it with the scoreboard and stuff x3 its original :P
I cant believe people are arguing like this over the Spanish Armada. This video is a kids school project! It is really good and I hope you got some good marks for it. This sort of enthusiasm to study like this should be encouraged. @megaead69 - I think you are really over acting and being unecessarily aggressive over this.
By the way, it is English until 1714 which is when we became British ;-)
@Malenta , maybe it´s technically good (Nick can edit video and add horrible noise to it) but as a history exercise this is RUBBISH. The only truth is that the Spanish didn´t expect having to fire their guns more than once. Even Medina Sidonia´s portrait is from a XVIII-early XIX century guy. Ships FALSELY depicted are 18th century. I´m afraid the brain washing in English schools still goes on. Nick, please, try to find a serious, unbiased book. I recommend you any of Jeffrey Parker´s.
Whose side is God on, he can't decide? no ones ? Phillip II thought God would be on his side but the Armada failed.The repulse of Spanish naval might gave heart to the Protestant cause across Europe, and the belief that God was behind Protestant cause was shown by striking of commemorative medals that bore the inscription," He blew with His winds, and they were scattered". But the U.S. in 1776 thought God was with Washington against Britain. Everyone claims God's on their side.
I'm not British. Anyway i suppose i could be mistaken, but as far as i was taught the english sent fire ships into the armada when they were docked in Gravalines, then the spanish retreated around scotland, then the storms hit them around Ireland. Less than half the armada returned to spain. If you read Chris Truman's report on it, he says that the weather around the south east helped the Spanish escape. Medina Sedonia (spanish) wrote that the spanish were 'saved by the weather, by god's mercy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Don't worry though- you're once great country will fail, due to the apathy of its members- to Muslims taking over the country. Good luck and maybe get your facts straight before making another video.
@megaead69 I made this video with the information I was provided with, take it up with my history department if you are dissatisfied with the information
Haha that's quite funny, actualy the storm hit the spanish ships when they were retreating around Ireland. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you post another bitchy comment. Btw where are you from? you don't sound British. ;)
@Gregdekiller999 Yeah, that's a good one, "mate!" Retreating you say huh? Is that what they've tought you in the U.K? Lol- you Brits are too, too, funny!!
Is simpler: stupid spaniards were round all over the island, from the south to Scotland, and then to the south again. Meanwhile, the storms and fire ships sent by Drake were destroying their supplies. The main reason of the defeat: stupid commanders, attack or rest in home, but don't go for a walk with the ships.
Later, something alike happened to the English with the counter-armada
@AxierNigromante , qué facil se te pilla. Eres un español renegado, un resentido que no tiene ni puta idea de lo que escribe, pero aun así lo hace sentenciando. (¿separatista vasco, separatista catalán, o simplemente ácrata jactancioso?) Lo que más me jode es que provechas para insultar la memoria de hombres infinitamente mejores que tú. Lee algún libro y a ver si te enteras de algo. Qué pena que en España haya tantos de tu cuerda. :(
@lentorpe Te responderé por puntos porque no tengo ganas de escribir: -Tengo sangre vasca, pero no soy ni separatista vasco ni catalán, no sé de dónde te lo has sacado. Aunque viendo de qué pie cojeas, me halaga que me llames eso. -Ni puñetera idea de lo que he querido decir en el mensaje. Tal vez mi nivel de inglés sea pésimo y esté lleno de ambigüedades, pero antes de lanzarte a por alguien de esa manera, pregunta aunque sea. -Lo de separatista vasco o catalán me ha matado,en serio xD
@lentorpe Por cierto, soy malagueño. Te doy permiso para llamarme vago, analfabeto, parásito, esclavo, moro y más insultos que les encanta lanzar a los españoles contra los andaluces.
Pero bueno, esto es como el que le dicen "eres un granuja, un chorizo y un ladrón de guante blanco" y responde "de eso nada, que no llevo guantes". Si eres de Málaga estupendo, conozco buena gente de por allí que se avergonzaría de la parida que acabas de soltar. Yo amo a España; jamás insultaré a ninguna de sus regiones. Insulto poco, y cuando lo hago lo hago "ad hominem". ¿¿¿"...los españoles contra los andaluces"??? ¿Y no eres separatista? ANDA Y QUE TE ZURZAN.
@lentorpe "Yo amo a España; jamás insultaré a ninguna de sus regiones". Aunque los vascos y catalanes son una excepción, ¿verdad? Y no, a los andaluces se les trata de puta madre... si, los cojones. Si te dije eso es porque si hablas mal de catalanes y vascos muy probablemente también odies a los andaluces, ya que a ese tipo de gente más o menos me la conozco
Por cierto, ahora me entero de que defender a los distintos pueblos de España es separatismo (y si lo fuera, ¿algún problema?)
O yo escribo en sánscrito, o tú lees lo que quieres leer. No he hablado mal de nadie; te he encasillado en una de tres posibles categorías y te olvidas de la tercera, que parece ser la tuya. En cualquier caso, las dos primeras no eran "vasco" y "catalán", que muy buena gente hay que lo es (acabo de votar a una), sino SEPARATISTA vasco y SEPARATISTA catalán. (A esos sí los odio). De los andaluces, aquí no se ha dicho ni pío; sólo tus propios complejos de inferioridad.
@lentorpe Sí, ser vasco es bueno... siempre y cuando grites "¡Viva España!", venga ya... Y eso no es odiar, claro que no, como son "terroristas" podemos decir de ellos cuanto queramos.
De todas formas no sé cómo derivaste el tema hacia los vascos y catalanes (está bien, no meto andaluces, ahí fui yo). Si te jode que no hable bien de los soldados españoles pues me lo dices y punto, pero no empieces a despotricar de esa manera.
Y paro ya que no quiero discutir, no se me da bien.
Interesting video. When you put "British" in your captions...Shouldn't that read "English"...?? I dunno I'm from Thailand and like British history. I think it's quite funny how the Spanish people get all upset about this battle. After all it was them that set out to invade a small island. They were in the wrong.
@Southland27 , have you ever asked yoursefl WHY was the invasion launched? Openly aiding a rebellious province (the Spanish Netherlands) with money, supplies, arms and troops DURING PEACE TIME was not a good reason? What about English pirate attacks (Drake, Hawkins) on Spanish ships and cities, many of them having Queen Elizabeth as a sponsor / investor? (these piratic expeditions were funded in the London Stock Exchange) Open your eyes, England was a ROGUE STATE. Attack was legitimate.
And not only was the invasion legitimate; it was an act of self-defence in an undeclared war launched by England. Philip II didn´t give the order until English provocations became untolerable.
@lentorpe Well mabye if Spain wasn't occupying the Netherlands it wouldn't have been a rebellious province. Mabye if Spain hadn't looted South America the English wouldn't have had reason to attack Spanish ships...Which funded the begining of the English/British empire. I'm sure they are very grateful :) England rose from rogue state to world dominance --- Thanks to Spain. I suppose you'll be wanting Gibraltar back next.
1.- The Spanish Netherlands were a personal possession of Philip II; they had not been conquered by Spain, but inherited by Philip´s father. (Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire, I´m sure you knew it perfectly.) This was the basis of legitimacy on those days; so don´t try to judge this matter applying our present uses and conventions to other eras, but the ethics of THAT time. And in that time no one could refute Philip´s right to restore his authority.
2.- Oooh, poor little indians, looted by the evil Spaniards. So you humanitarian Englishmen HAD to rescue them. So sad you just stole the gold when at seas, instead of taking the land from us to hand it back to the indians and restore their ancient freedom. (I suppose THAT and no other would be your purpose...) (irony)
By the way, I wonder why are there so many indian faces in South America and so few in North America. Do yourself a favour and forget talking about the indians.
3.- And I suppose you have no fuXXXng idea about what Gibraltar was, what Gibraltar is, and how it came to English hands. The clue for my supposition is the fact that you show no shame to start talking about it, clearly indicating either a) - Absolute ignorance, or b) - Absolute chauvinism-jingoism-autosatisfaction, or c) a+b.
Over. Read. Then keep reading. Then change your information sources and read even more. Then restart this topic if you still want to do so.
@lentorpe Ha Ha Gibraltar has touched a raw nerve with you Spaniard. Don't give me all that Spanish empire was good rubbish either. Why was there a rebellion in Spanish Netherlands...Could be they didn't want the Spanish there...right? And as for Northh American Indians...What has that to do with Britain. Most were killed and put on reservations after American independence. Oh by the way I'm not British. Do you think you'll get Gibraltar back? I don't think so :)))
Over and over again with Gibraltar? Man, you are like a clockwork potato.
So you enjoy touching other people´s raw nerves. Well, worry a bit less about Spanish lands stolen by the brits, and a LOT more about Pedophiles´ Paradise on Earth. You have it closer.
Lots of people say that it was English piracy that started the war when in fact it was Spanish piracy in the Caribbean.
