The war of Spanish and English

Francis Drake was one of the English, English are winners they beat the Spanish in war.

Francis Drake and Lord Howard thank you for leading the English fleet of ships your the best.

Fire! at night the English set the ships on fire the fire was on the spanish ships in seconds they had to cut the anchor ropes to flee.

They had orders to attack the remainings of the spanish and defeat them.

Victorius England wins we are the most powerfulist country in the world.

JOHN CABOT A ACCIDENT EXPLORER!!!!!

During the Tudor period, there were many famous explorers.Exploring was for fame,and money,so many people liked it.One of these explorers was John Cabot ,and he discovered something...

EXPLORE!EXPLORE!

Peoplein Tudor times as you know loved exploreing.Everyone explored then.One explorer was John Cabot.It was in 1497 John Cabot set sail on the Matthew with a crew of 18 men.John left from bristol on the 2nd of May hoping to find a new route to India

COLD ICE!!!

John and his crew sailed through rough storms,and they had to go the long way round because the short way was blocked by ice.When John arrived he fpund he was not in India,but somewhere else.John searched around and got a couple of mosquito stings{ouch!}too.After a short search John found signs of life.For instance:fishing nets were in the sea,the sea was rich with cod,and many sticks were painted red and pierced at both ends.

GOODBYE NEWFOUNDLAND!!

John sailed away from Newfoundland after a short stay.The sea was calm on the way back on the Matthew, and on the 6th of August, John arrived back in England.John was rewarded with £10 from the King and the sea rich with cod was found out.Unfourtnately it isn't rich with cod any more.

So if your ever planning on going away on a boat make sure ther's a navigator on board!!

Phillip's Plan for Bigger Empire Crushes Under English Feet

Good King Phillip II of Spain decides to attack the lucky English for two very reasonable reasons such as: The legendary fight for Catholics and Protestants, and Phillip's desire to improve our empire that is crushed.

On the 21st of July 1588, our King started the massive Armada which was first heading for Calais in France to pick up more troops, but somehow they did not turn up. The war still had to carry on though, with 140 ships, but Phillip's foolishness with just 20 war ships ready for battle made us lose.

Another reason for our loss is that the Duke of Medina Sidonia, with no experience, lead the powerful Armada. The Duke of Medina Sidonia quoted that it was not his fault.

On the 28th of July the English sent fire ships full with what we thought, explosives so now half of the Phillip's ships are now lost and wrecked. We started with 18000 men and nearly all of them are lost.

THE SPANISH WRECK

Dear fellow Spaniards did you hear the news WE LOST! Its terrible but we will fight our country again someday, soon.

It all started because Phillip II wanted to take over England , he wanted to make England a Catholic country.

In July 1558 the Armada begun, the English hit, fired and shot at us.

Sir Frances Drake captured the Rosario our best ship. That's propably why we lost.

Many of our ships were ruined on the way home and most of our 18,000 men were dead.

The English tricked us but we will get them back someday, somehow. One of our locals has reported that they are very unhappy and we should fight back soon.

The Brave John Cabot

During Tudor times, there was a race between the brave explorers to see who could find the new lands. One of the bravest was a man called John Cabot and he set sail on May 2nd, 1497.



He began his expedition on May 2nd and he had 18 people on board his ship was called The Matthew. He started in Bristol and was heading to India but it took him 7 weeks to get there. On May 2nd Henry VII funded John Cabot's expedition. John Cabot sailed across the Atlantic hoping to find India but ended up discovering Canada instead.



When John Cabot was ashore, he saw animal dung . John Cabot didn't stay long because the mosquitoes were a nuisance and had lack of supplies. John found fishing nets and snares at Canada.

He left on July 20th and arrived at Bristol August 6th Henry was not pleased because he didn't bring home any money and silk.

On Cabot's next voyage he had 200 people and five ships but no one knows where he went or if he reached his destination.

THE TUDOR TIMES VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!

In July 1588 the English and Spanish met at war. Victory was on our side.

The Spanish wer determined they would beat the English but Sir Francis Drake was confident that the English would be victorious he said that it would be horrendous if the Spanish won!

The English had only 120 ships while the Spanish had 140, but the English had 30 gallions and the Spaniards had only 20

Sir Francis Drake and Lord Howard had a spectacular idea they set some of their ships on fire and led them by the wind to the Spaniards and they had to flee northwards where the storms were heading. Many Spanishn ships were destroyed in the rough winds. We thrashed them they lost.

ENDLAND WINS THE BATTLE!!!!

The English and the Spanish go to war, and the Spanish lose the battle against Endland!!

On 1588 (July) the Spanish set off for war with England, getting ready and steady to win!

The Captain of England was Sir Frances Drake and Lord Howard! The other Captain of Spain was Duke of Medina Sidonia.

The Spanish thought they could take over England and win the battle, but they dreadfully lost the battle and the chance of over taking England!

The Spanish had 140 ships but the England only had had 120 ships so the Spanish had more ships than the English! The Spanish also had 18,000 troops! In the country (Spain) Duke of Medina sidonia was very powerful! The Spanish canoned England!

Many ships fell down on the way home back to their country! England was very jolly as they won the battle over the powerful Spain! When England got home they were so,so,so happy, and they were in a very good mood aswell. Also there was a witness and he watched the whole battle and he said: "I was happy to watch the battle and some people did die!" but as we go back to England they went home very happy! But the Spanish said that they will win next time!

Victory!

On 21st July 1588, a man spotted warships on the coast of Cornwall and reported the news to the Queen.

"I was petrified as I saw massive ships approaching the shore."

The brave Sir Drake and Lord Howard came to the rescue. It was their smart and clever idea to send fire ships which caused the Spanish to cut their anchors and scatter. Brave Britain defeated Spain and came home victorious.

The news is spreading across the world and no country is man enough to face mighty Britain now!

Spanish Ships Scattered

The Spanish fleets first attacked us on July 21st after being sighted off the coast of Cornwall.

The Armada was sent by Phillip II of Spain in a failed attempt to make England Catholic and to take over more land.

Then Sir Frances Drake had a brilliant idea: He set some empty English ships a light and sent them among the Spanish. The Spanish thought they were full of explosives.

Many Spanish ships were wrecked on the way home.

Tom, a ships boy, quoted that he was jolly proud.
