This lesson focuses on the planning and delay of the Spanish Armada, analysing Philip II’s strategy and its weaknesses. Students examine Santa Cruz and Parma’s plans (see pages 2–4), before evaluating the combined invasion strategy and its reliance on timing and communication.

Students explore key factors such as leadership, resources, and Drake’s attack on Cadiz (page 12), developing evaluation skills by judging whether the plan was realistic or flawed.

Best paired with the workbook, which supports students with note-taking, activities, and structured exam questions.
