Show transcript
Elizabeth I faced one of her greatest challenges in 1588 when mighty Spain went to war with England.
Spain wanted to invade England and take control of it, so they sent a huge armada to do so.
Elizabeth sent her best sailors to fight the Spanish in the English Channel to stop them from invading.
At the same time, Elizabeth made a famous speech to her army at Tilbury, saying she was as brave as any king.
Although the English had fewer ships, they were helped by the weather, which blew the Spanish ships away from England.
