Describe Spanish power under Phillip II The empire had incredible wealth. By 1600, American mines had supplied Spain with an estimated 339,000 pounds of gold. The great gold and silver reserves permitted Spain to have a standing army of 50,000 soldiers. Phillip II was also a great defender of the Catholic faith.

Defeat of the Spanish Armada, 1588 In 1588, Phillip launched the Spanish Armada in an attempt to punish Protestant England and its queen, Elizabeth I. Elizabeth had supported Protestant subjects who had rebelled against Phillip. This event was a major setback for Spain in which it never would truly return. It did continue to have wealth, power and influence in the future, but not what it might have had otherwise.
