For a written account of a sailor's harrowing journey back to Spain, look up Francisco de Cuellar. He washed ashore on Ireland, where he found the corpses of hundreds of Spanish prisoners executed en masse by the English. The locals robbed him and other survivors of their clothes. He wandered Ireland naked until finding refuge in the fief of an Irish nobleman. The English laid siege of the nobleman's castle and he and other Spaniards defended it successfully. He then crossed into Scotland where he procured a ship to Flanders with other survivors. But the Dutch were waiting for them. A battle ensued and he was shipwrecked...again. He swam ashore and reached the Spanish-controlled city of Dunkirk.

Is it surprising that they were treated with extreme contempt? But hey, England is bad, eh?

Well, to be fair, every English historian of the war, like R. B. Wernham and Geoffrey Parker has mentioned it and acknowledges it to be a complete failure. If it hasn't had the same level of prominence, there's a reason for this, the Spanish Armada of 1588 posed an existential threat to Elizabeth I and England, its goal was to overthrow her and place a pro-Spanish monarch (most likely Philip II's daughter) on the English throne. By contrast, the three goals of the English Armada of 1589 were to destroy the remains of the Spanish Armada, capture the Azores to use as a base for raiding Spanish shipping and land in Portugal with the pretender to Portugal's throne, Don Antonio, in the hopes of inspiring a Portuguese nationalist rising. Invading Spain and overthrowing Philip II was not one of the goals, indeed at no point in the Anglo-Spanish War did the English ever attempt it. Even if the most ambitious of the English goals had been accomplished and Don Antonio had become King of an independent Portugal, Philip II would have still been King of Spain and all his pre-1580 empire. To be sure, losing Portugal and its empire would have been a considerable setback for Philip II, but it isn't really comparable with what Elizabeth I would have faced had the Spanish Armada of 1588 been successful, with England conquered, and she would have almost certainly suffered the same fate as her mother.

a person of culture, I see

As an Englishman, I remember learning about the Spanish Armada in secondary school. The narrative told by my teacher was that England had superior tactics despite having a smaller fleet and Spain's forces doomed themselves by deciding to sail around Scotland, risking the storms I'm glad this channel exists and we can learn a more in-depth version of these events instead of the oversimplified version taught in schools

The Spanish Armada invasion was part of a large conflict between England and Spain from 1585 to 1604, which involved several maritime actions. These include the successful English attack on Cadiz in 1587, but also the disastrous counter-armada commanded by Drake in 1589. In any case, this invasion attempt was followed by two new and more powerful fleets in 1596 and 1597 (which in fact managed to land some troops). This highlights the strength and resource capacity of the Spanish crown and its possessions, contrary to the myth that the defeat of the first armada in 1588 marked the end of Spanish maritime dominance. In fact, the end of Spanish as the major sea power would occur later in the mid-17th century, due to the rise of the United Provinces fleet.

The defeat of the Spanish crown in the United Provinces was more related to the fact that the conflict had a civil war context (catholics against calvinists/ protestants) therefore difficult to solve, but primaraly, to the huge logistics issue that was moving Spanish troops from Northern Italy to Flanders. Once France settled it's internal revolts in the XVII century, they focused on destroying this military route. And it wasn't until well in the mid-XIX century that navys such as the British could deploy enough troops to secure a territory@@mlml8018

After the repelling the Spanish Armada, things didn't exactly look up for the English. Because throughout the 1590s, England suffered many critical problems that crippled its society and burdened its people. These included severe economic depression, poor harvests and high prices. The countryside was especially badly affected by these problems, and the draining costs of conflicts with Spain, France and Ireland severely affected the economy and pushed for higher taxes, which in turn made Elizabeth very unpopular.

Invading England was originally the idea of Spanish general Don Juan (who was the hero of Lepanto). But Philip II wanted to focus on the war in the Netherlands. It took years for Philip II to finally support the idea of sending an armada to England.

Techincally Elizabeth didn't knight Drake herself. She had a French noble do it. It was a diplomatic thing where she wasn't flipping off Spain but also rewarding Drake. Drake may have well said they had time to finish the game since they had to wait for the tide to turn (Or something like that basically they had time to kill) before they went out. And Drake is just that sort of person and knows the moral bonus of the men hearing that he said that. Not all of the men stranded on Ireland died. Some managed to hide with the Irish who didn't like the English and were willing to hide them. Most died.

Could you perhaps make a series about the 80 years war between the spanish and the dutch which is briefly mentioned in this video. This period has pretty big consequences like the dutch eventually beating the spanish, the forming of the Dutch east India company. Which in turn eventually led to the 3 anglo dutch wars.

Since every other comment here seems to bring up the failed English Armada of 1589 and asking if they're going to make a video of it (Despite the fact they say at the end of the video they will), I think it's worth pointing out that contrary to some claims that the subject is avoided in England, every English historian of the war, like R. B. Wernham and Geoffrey Parker has mentioned it in their books and acknowledge it to be a complete failure. If it hasn't had the same level of prominence, there's a reason for this, the Spanish Armada of 1588 posed an existential threat to Elizabeth I and England, its goal was to conquer England, overthrow her and place a pro-Spanish monarch (most likely Philip II's daughter) on the English throne. By contrast, the three goals of the English Armada of 1589 were to destroy the remains of the Spanish Armada, capture the Azores to use as a base for raiding Spanish shipping and land in Portugal with the pretender to Portugal's throne, Don Antonio, in the hopes of inspiring a Portuguese nationalist rising. Invading Spain and overthrowing Philip II was not one of the goals, indeed at no point in the Anglo-Spanish War did the English ever attempt it. Even if the most ambitious of the English goals had been accomplished and Don Antonio had become King of an independent Portugal, Philip II would have still been King of Spain and all his pre-1580 empire. To be sure, losing Portugal and its empire would have been a considerable setback for Philip II, but it isn't really comparable with what Elizabeth I would have faced had the Spanish Armada of 1588 been successful, with England conquered, and she would have almost certainly suffered the same fate as her mother. (I mentioned this before, but it can be hard to find.)

Watching this I am reminded of the statistic (unsure if this is true) that the First World War was the first conflict in history where the losses from combat wounds exceeded those wrought by disease.

Not sure that accurately applies overall since the "Spanish Flu" caused tremendous casualties as well. Even if a soldier died from combat, his performance may have been hindered by illness.

The Spanish flu was limited to the last months of the war however

Some ships were blown as far as the Silly Isles?

Nobody remembers the counter armada from the English that ended the same way as the Spanish armada
