1. Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Problems Brewing – Spain VS England!

2. Why are there problems? Philip II (Spain) hates Elizabeth I (England)
Reasons:
She was helping Netherlands (Protestant)
Were fighting off Spanish rule...
Her pirates (privateers) attacked Spanish shipping
Stole their stuff...
She refused to marry Phillip
Everyone hates rejection right...

3. Mary, Queen of Scots Next in line to English throne
Catholics revolt in her name
Pope supports uprising
Elizabeth puts down the revolts
Many executions, even priests
Mary is executed as well for the conspiracy
Why is this a big deal?

4. War Prep! Sir Francis Drake raided Spanish cities/ships
Elizabeth approves of this activity
She gave him a knighthood...
Philip II (very angry at Elizabeth) sent his Armada to invade England
But... England was well prepared
I know you‘re upset but we will go over the Spanish Armada tomorrow.
