Why today, July 29, is such an important anniversary in world history; why the Spanish Armada was originally called the Invincible Armada; what the world would be like today if the English had been defeated by the Spanish Armada; how the English were vastly outnumbered and vastly outgunned; why Spain was the greatest power on the planet back in 1588; why the defeat of the Spanish Armada was a key foundation of the missionary movement; the film “Elizabeth – The Golden Years” which makes some reference to the Spanish Armada, but also contains some glaring omissions; how Hollywood appears to have given new life to the malicious slander made about Queen Elizabeth I, around the time of the Spanish Armada; the life of Sir Walter Raleigh, including the colonies he set up in North America; why the truth is more incredible than fiction; how Spain became so powerful; the life of John Dee, who is still referenced by conspiracy theorists to this day; a brief history of the Spanish Inquisition; and many other topics.
