In 1588, Spain—the greatest empire in the 16th century—made a fateful decision to launch a massive sea invasion of England.  The result of that decision would have a profound effect on the direction of both European and American history.  Within this course we will explore the evolution of the decision to invade England; examine the role of the main characters involved; while assessing and understanding the significant impact of this great historical event.
