  abstract = {Spain’s decadence and England’s rise to power is commonly believed to be the result of the uncontested victory of the English navy over Philip II and the Duke of Medina Sidonia’s obsolete and slow Spanish Armada in 1588. Recurrent images of the Protestant God-sent winds and storms against England’s enemies, the genius of Queen Elizabeth I and the audacity of Sir Francis Drake, mythological gods for the English nation but piratical devils for the Spaniards, have contributed to a “Britannia rules the waves” mentality among the British.
