Defeat of the Spanish Armada
The crescent-shaped formation was designed to force the English to fight at close quarters -- by ramming and boarding. when the English sent burning ships against the Spaniards, the crescent broke up, the English pounded the individual ships, and an Atlantic gale swept the Spaniards into the North Sea, finishing the work of destruction (National Maritime Museum, London)

The defeat of the Spanish Armada was decisive, however, in the sense that it prevented Philip II from reimposing unity on western Europe by force. He did not conquer England, and Elizabeth continued her financial military support of the Dutch. In the Netherlands, however, neither side gained significant territory. The borders of 1581 tended to become permanent. In 1609 Philip III of Spain (1598-1621) agreed to a truce, in effect recognizing the independence of the United Provinces. In seventeenth-century Spain memory of defeat of the Armada contributed to a spirit of defeatism. ~ page 483
