How was the Spanish Armada defeated in 1588?

The Spanish Armada was the powerful Spanish fleet that sailed against England under the command of the Duke of Medina-Sidonia in its fight to overthrow the Elizabeth I of England. This was like some sort of crusade, or a personal vengeance make by Phillip II of Spain as she had  imprisoned his wife, Mary I and later have her executed so that his ambitions were thwarted.

But the failure of the military assault was due to many different factors intertwined together. First, Phillip II, despite being diligent and hardworking as a monarch, had filled for bankruptcy on several occasions and plunged his country into millions of debt, due to the fact that he had military obligations in the Continent. It also was caused by chronic corruption and the financial mis-management of the Crown. It were also too heavily reliant on silver shipments, which caused the country to be pushed into hyper-inflation, and the failure to diversify its commerce, pushed its economy into greater despair.

Also, the Duke have little experience and little faith in the enterprise , and was not suitable for naval warfare, in controlling the ships in the sea to fight England's naval fleet, and was against the idea of an invasion of England territory.

The weather proved to be another devastating element in the course of the war. It was terribly dreadful, very harsh indeed, with the wind and the rain against the Spanish fleet, and they were unable to compete against the powerful and superior ships and naval tactics used in the war. The Queen of England thought that the success of war was actually due to luck showered upon them, and not because of their might, as they thought that the unfortunate stone besieged upon them was not a ordinary one, but actually was the work of the Protestant God in his grace. Many of the Spanish naval force were wrecked terribly and the Spanish have lost a decisive battle, and England was the ultimate victor.
