What means did Queen Elizabeth I use, and why did British autocracy reach its peak during her reign?
Elizabeth I made great contributions to Britain all her life. She slowly developed Britain from a small country at the beginning into a maritime power, promoted the development of British maritime industry and established a British colony in North America.

Elizabeth I is the second queen of England. Under her rule, Britain became one of the most powerful countries in Europe from a small country at the beginning, which also opened the golden age of Britain. She has made great contributions to Britain and made many sacrifices. She never married and was called the virgin queen. A wise queen.

Elizabeth I relied on her own wisdom to resolve contradictions and govern the country well. The most difficult problem she encountered was about Catholicism. When she first ascended the throne, she declared Protestantism the state religion. The Vatican hated her guts and said it would abolish her status as queen, but she chose tolerance instead of cruel repression like her sister bloody Mary. She thinks it's no big deal. Catholics can keep their faith in their own homes. But you can't go to church. If you go, you will be fined. In this way, Protestants and Catholics live in peace, and their hatred is finally resolved.

For her political opponents, the queen did not choose to kill them all. In the later period of her rule, because she had never been married and had no children, some careerists planned several major rebellions. When dealing with these rebellions, the queen seemed hesitant, and her hesitation in executing people also reflected her tolerance. The reign of Elizabeth I was a very important turning point in British history. Moreover, this period is also known as the "Elizabethan era" in the history of English literature.
