In what year did the Spanish Armada launch its attack on England?
1588

1611

1688
Only one of these answer choices, the earliest one, falls within the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, so if you know enough about the Elizabethan Era you can easily determine the correct answer from that alone. 1588 was the year that the infamous Spanish Armada sailed for England to try and defeat the English navy and establish a landing base that Spain could use to conquer the British Isles. A combination of terrible weather, poor tactics, and brilliant English defensive strategy led to the complete annihilation of the Spanish Armada, an event often considered the high water mark of the Elizabethan era.

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, England was a predominantly __________ kingdom.
Protestant
Feudal
Catholic
Humanist
Democratic
Although Queen Elizabeth I is often warmly regarded by historians as someone who extended rights and powers to Parliament, to call her autocratic monarchy "democratic" would be stretching the word to its very limits; however, it is impossible to dispute that her kingdom was a Protestant one. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII, a devout Protestant, and head of the Church of England.
