Okay, that's it.
You can have my first born.
The Spanish Armada set off from the port of Lisbon, with the intent of picking up the thousands of Spanish soldiers who had been fighting in Nederland, and escorting them across the channel to conquer England. After 2-3 failed attacks by the English, the Armada was sent into disarray after the English cleverly deployed 8 burning ships into the Armada's midst at night. The day after, the Armada were forced to pass Flanders, in France, where they were supposed to escort the 20,000 or so Spanish soldiers to England.With their plan foiled by the Royal English Navy,they had to return back to Spain. They could not turn around, because the English were pursuing them with desperate intent, so the only way for them to return safely home was to loop around Britain and Ireland. It was a long, arduous journey, and many Spanish sailors died of Hunger and Thirst. As the defeated Armada passed Ireland (ON THEIR WAY HOME), they were struck by ferocious storms, devastating the already weary Armada, and destroying hundreds of their ships. CLASS DISMISSED!
