In this program, the planned Spanish invasion of England fails and England dominates the waves. It is 1588 and the conflict between the Catholic Philip II of Spain and the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I of England is at a breaking point. In May, Philip launches the Spanish Armada - an invincible fleet of 130 ships - to conquer English shores. Sir Francis Drake and the English fleet sail from Plymouth to meet the invaders. The English overcome the far larger Spanish fleet by using fireships. The broken Armada is forced to flee North where many die off the hostile coasts of Scotland and Ireland. Philip's dream of a Europe united under Catholic rule is shattered.
