The Untold Story Of The Spanish Armada: The Truth Behind England's Heroic Victory | Our History

Poor narration script . Poor cannon test procedure . Poor shipwreck location deductions . Good info about the Gulf Stream current effect .

Thank you very much, very interesting an informative. Well done. M

Quite an impressive Video, save for the silly, incompetent playing around with the cannon. And this annoying, ear-insulting music all the time!

is it a barn door -------------- no that would be easy ........

IT WAS ELISABETH FATHER THAT PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN BUILDING THE BRITISH NAVY BY PLACING CANNONS IN THE LOWER DECKS. THE SPANISH MADE THE SAME MISTAKE AS THE SYRIANS DID IN THE 1973 WAR.

THE SPANISH USED A LAND CRAB SEDONIUS(SEA SICK) TO LEAD THE NAVAL BATTLE AGAINST ENGLISH WHO COULD TRAVEL AGAINST THE WIND. ADD USING FIRESHIPS AND IT WAS A DONE DEAL.

HARD REPLEAT THE BALLISTICS OF ENGLISH GUNS WITH TODAY. WHY? THAT TIMES GUN POWDER HAD PROBLEMS WITH ITS MIXTURE. IT WAS ONLY LATER THAT THE GUN POWDER PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED.

The English had 16 pounder cannons

It was not a desaster, It was fail but not so big, the lost were 26 ships from 130 , It is not 1/3 It is 1/5 of the Armada...the next year 1589 was the big desaster for Drake and the British Royal Navy. Don't you? 29.000 British people departured in 180 ships ... just 3.000 Britons returned and less than 40 ships. So, It is the history of who ruled the waves the next hundred years.

The untold history is the next battle in the year 1589.... The total disaster of the British Royal Navy destroyed for the next 100 years, so the individual piratery was the resource all along that time.

British "black legend" against Spain.

ÁaaaaaaaaSORRY BUT THE ONLY REASON WHY THE ARMADA DIDNT WIN, WAS BECAUSE THEY WERNT LED BY THE PORTUGUISE COMANDER,WHICH LED THE ARMADA TO SHIPWRICK.😊

What is forgotten there were over 10 attempts, not just the famous 1588 attempt, by the Spanish to invade England, the last was in 1601 when a Spanish Fleet was defeated by the English in the Battle of Kinsale. Very few English ships were actually English Navy but were owned by Privateers such as Drake and Raleigh, the leader of the English Fleet was Martin Frobisher. Privateers were ships and crews who were contracted by Heads of State such as Queen Elizabeth 1st to harry her enemies, any gains were shared our with the Sponsor and crew. Most of the Spanish Treasure was Silver which came from a mountain in Argentina (Argente is Latin for Silver). The Privateers were made illegal by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1715 so they became Pirates.

embarrassing gun crew Dei hires..

Excellent work!😊

😮Regarde ce que tu enseignes à tes étudiants 😅

Liz 1 wudnt pay or feed her sailors a lot got ill she was skint the coffers were bare

When was this filmed? The computers and monitors shown in the background are ancient.

Non stop music, unwatchable

lol Spanish win

Very informative and great narration and atmosphere.

Outstanding! Thx a lot!

And I read in history that a storm of 500 years destroyed the Spanish ships. The English believed it was Gods sign for a schism in the Catholic Church and the English all became Protestants!

The ship crews would have fired their guns with ships roll to be on target.

Welcome to Galway lads

It's the recoil. You need a level solid ground behind

Very interesting analysis of wind and wave. Music, as usual, overpowers the dialogue and narration. The clown show with cannon is "proiceless".

Reminding of the failed attempt of Kublai Khan's China to land in Japan
A big Navy destroyed in storms, where the word Kamikaze originated?

The mistake was Philip 2 didn’t follow the advice of his wife Queen Mary , and put younge Elizabeth in jail. He thought that after Marys death he might marry.
Elizabeth..
And Elizabeth had promised to be a good Catholic.
Biggest mistake since

In Spain and the rest of Europe for that matter whatever the English historians say it is without a doubt no credible at all. The Spanish boats were far superior than the English boats. When they capture any kind of Spanish boat, they will take them to Plymouth for observation because they were much more advanced technologically than any boat from the English navy. The Spanish didn't take English boats to any Spanish port because they knew that they have a much better boat and they didn't need to improve anything. Phillip II knew England very well because he lived there for four years 1554--1558 and he was king Phillip I. The deads of Alvaro de Bazan and Juan de Austria (Veterans of the battle of Lepanto 1571) shortly before the battle made Phillip II change plans that contributed to the failure of the Armada. The lack of coordination between Medina Sidonia and Alejandro Farnesio in the Nederlands was the main factor for the failure of the Armada since the Armada had to leave without embarking the fearless Spanish tercios of Alejando Farnesio for a total combined force of 40,000 troops that queen Elizabeth couldn't possible stop. It is very well known in Spain that the Omission Neglect policies of the British empire were never a good reason to describe the historical events as they really happened.

"1 cannon shot an hour, no hits".

And the Dutch prevented the Spanish army from joining the Armada by blockading the port of Dunkirk with 30 low draft flyboats.

Wow! What a bunch of overthinking, impractical ‘experts’! Seriously, is this type of ridiculous ‘research’ that Britain is pushing out these days? No wonder the countries are falling apart! Lots of expensive phaffing around.

If God acted in the physical world do you think there would be no physical manifestation to that action. It would not be magical. Modern scholars are often pedantic.

You have said nothing about "Powder Quality" Quality can vary Wildly. This will effect ballistics to a massive degree.

YOU WAITED TO FIRE AS THE SHIP ROLLED

Wow, thanks god I was educated in the US.
We all know this already. That the Armada Imbicible, was in fact defeated by the weather.
Well, at least the ones that study.

Why the wailing women?

But William Adams was very good with his canons.

I was told lots of those saylors stayed in catholic ireland, not being able to go home mingled with the people....which is why there are a lot of irish prople with black hair.

Why does that lady count down in. Such a weird sing song way?

This seems copied documentary from Late 90s. Windows 95, CRT displays seeem way older for current time ( Even 10 years back). Is this making money off of old videos? If you really are this content creator, you should have used latest technology which could use lot of simulation and sophisticated models.

The Dutch blockaded the ports preventing the armada to pick up the army

AI narration

Congrats to the would be meteorologist! This is how treasure hunters have in part located the sunken Spanish treasure in the Caribbean, South America and Florida...

You have been weighed, measured and found wanting.

Mother Nature ALWAYS gets her way.

Why do europeans think we're all from South America?
