| Summary | "The Spanish Armada, 1588" by John Pine is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the key naval engagement between England and Spain during a time when the latter sought to invade England and restore Catholic rule. It details the preparations, motivations, and significant battles leading to the defeat of the Spanish Armada, emphasizing the valor of the English commanders. The opening of the book introduces the context of the Spanish Armada, highlighting its origins under King Philip II of Spain and the motivations behind the expedition against England. Pine sets the stage by explaining the Spanish intention to conquer England, asserting dominance over trade, and avenging perceived grievances against Queen Elizabeth I. The narrative outlines the immense scale of the Spanish preparations, both in terms of naval strength and troop mobilization, painting a vivid picture of the impending conflict. This leads into a detailed account of events and battles that were to unfurl as the two fleets clashed at sea, suggesting a comprehensive exploration of this pivotal moment in British history.
