    The Spanish Armada was defeated due to several key factors: 1) The Spanish fleet was larger but slower and less maneuverable than the English ships, which gave the English tactical advantages in battle. 2) English ships had more experienced crews and better naval guns than the Spanish. 3) Weather conditions like strong winds and rough seas damaged many of the Spanish ships and scattered the fleet, making it vulnerable to further English attacks.
