	Anglo-Spanish War (1585) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604) was an intermittant conflict, punctuated by large, widely separated, battles, between the kingdoms of England and Spain.
		The Spanish landed a considerable force of tercios in Brittany, expelling the English forces (however Anglo-French forces later succeeded in repulsing a siege of the critical port city of Brest).
		The war was ended with a peace treaty, which was negotiated between Spain's Philip III and England's James I and signed in 1604.

		Naples was retaken in 1648 and Catalonia in 1652, but the war came effectively to an end at the Battle of the Dunes where the French army under Vicomte de Turenne defeated the remnants of the Spanish army of the Netherlands.
		With the Spanish Netherlands effectively lost after the Battle of Lens in 1648, the Spanish made peace with the Dutch and recognized the independent United Provinces in the Peace of Westphalia that ended both the Eighty Years' War and the Thirty Years' War.
		The Spanish attempted to extricate themselves from the several conflicts they were involved in, first signing the Treaty of Vervins with France in 1598, recognizing Henry IV (since 1593 a Catholic) as king of France, and restoring many of the stipulations of the previous Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis.

	HistoryBuff.com -- The Spanish Armada of 1588
		The Spanish Armada is the term conventionally applied to a massive fleet dispatched against England by Spain's Catholic King Philip II in 1588, leading to an early and important confrontation in the nearly 20-year Anglo-Spanish War of 1585-1604 (the "Twenty Years' War").
		The Spanish navy was retooled in the 1590s and effectively solidified Spanish control over the waves, protecting treasure fleets from privateering while vanquishing English opponents on the high seas and on the coasts of Spanish America, and Spain continued as Europe's dominant power into the 1600s.
		The Spanish Crown and Spain's merchants had come to bitterly resent the unrelenting privateering attacks on Spanish shipping, and Philip was especially incensed by English financial support to the Dutch rebels, which he saw as outside interference in the sovereign affairs of Spain.

		Although some Privy Councillors called for war, others advocated the maintenance of trade with Spain as a means of preventing England from entering a very costly war - a war she was not guaranteed to win.
		He also noted that when war on commerce was the object of the belligerent, it was usually because he was the weaker in naval power and did not wish to risk the decisive battle.

		Description: The age of maritime expansion and the Anglo-Spanish War have been analyzed by generations of historians, but nearly all studies have emphasized events and participants "at the top." This book examines the lives and experiences of the men of the Elizabethan maritime community during a particularly volatile period of maritime history.
		The advent of open warfare with Spain in 1585 resulted in a privateering war against the Spanish Empire, seen by some seamen as one of the few boons of the conflict.
		The other major development was the introduction of impressment, a deeply resented aspect of any naval war and one that brought great hardship to seamen and their families.
