Spanish armada

wind and weather
king was almost embarrassed that his armada failed and wanted to make a worthy excuse and he did lose his formation from the wind which he could argue lost him the war
On the coins shows Spanish ships on fire and being blown around and sunk by the british mainly though it shows a lot of wind blowing around the ships and wind pushing the fire ships into the spanish armada
wind and weather were a partly significant factor as it consists of a famous quote from King Philip saying that it was not his man and ships which were the reason the armada failed it was actually the wind and weather which destroyed the armada
‘I am attacked, but I am not wounded’ which suggests that the wind and weather did not destroy the armada but did damage it quite significantly

painting which was painted in 1601 which shows fire ships being pushed into the armada. This suggests that wind and weather was the reason the formation broke and it also attacked his ships ferociously. It shows the spanish in a struggle to escape the ships and also it shows them going very fast with their sails catching the wind going swiftly toward the area of ships

conclusion
Overall most of the sources in one way or another relate back to the tactics and technology of the English and suggest that it is the main reason because it was the reason that they won most of the battles and also split the formation and also the victory at the battle of gravelines. Although the other parts were still very big along with it.
