What Really Happened
In our timeline the Spanish Armada was sent to destroy England in 1588. England had been supporting the United Provinces in their war for independence against the Hapsburg Spain Monarchy during the 80 years war. In our timeline after the Armada left Gravelines, Flanders they headed for England, but decided to circle around the Irish Sea.

Unfortunetly for Spain almost all of the Armada was demolished by the bad winds and storms that overtook the Irish Sea during that time of year.

In the alternative timeline we will explore what happens when Spain wins against England and enjoys the power of becoming the richest and most powerful nation on earth.
