Major events in British history:

1, Spain-England War

Spanish-English War (English: Spanish-English War; Spanish: Guerra anglo-espa? Ola) (1585–1604) refers to the intermittent conflict between the Spanish Empire and the Kingdom of England without a formal declaration of war.

The Spanish-English War consisted of many large-scale battles, which began in 1585 when Britain and the Netherlands signed the Treaty of South Sacchi to support the Netherlands in resisting the rule of the Spanish Empire.

1587, Britain took the lead in winning in Cadiz, and the following year, the Spanish Armada was defeated by 1588 in the naval battle of Gravorin. However, after the failure of Corinna's Lisbon expedition in 1589, the situation reversed and the Spanish navy recovered its strength in the naval battle in flores.

1595- 1596 Britain's expedition to the west Indies and 1597 Essex-Raleigh all failed completely. Spain sent two armada in 1596 and 1597 to pursue victory, but they were defeated in bad weather.

In the ten years after the defeat of the Armada, Spain strengthened its naval strength and had a far-reaching impact on the precious metal transportation in South America. The war reached a deadlock in the 1650 s.

1602, Britain and the Netherlands once gained the dominance of the English Channel and even Western European waters through the Battle of Dover, which lasted for two years.

160 1- 1604 Spain laid a cruel and bloody siege on Ostend in human history. After three years of siege, the British and Dutch allied forces finally surrendered, and the Spanish army took the castle, which made all three parties want to end the war and return to peace. ?

1604, Philip III and the new British king James I signed the Treaty of London. The agreement between Spain and Britain stopped military intervention in Ireland and the Netherlands respectively, and the British side gave up looting on the high seas.

Both parties have achieved some goals, and Spain regained its advantage in western European waters after the war. The whole treaty is in Spain's favor. However, the whole war process caused considerable financial burden to the two countries, while Britain entered a 40-year downturn.

2. wars of the roses

Wars of the roses (also known as wars of the roses; English: wars of the roses; ; 1455 ── 1485) is two descendants of Edward III (reigning 1327-1377): supporters of house of lancaster and York family fought intermittently for the British throne.

Both families are branches of the Plantagenet royal family, the York family is the descendant of Edward III's fourth son, and house of lancaster is the descendant of Edward III's third son.

The Battle of the Roses is the fifth and sixth generation heir of Edward III, a York family, and the fourth and fifth generation heir against Edward III, house of lancaster.

The name "wars of the roses" was not used at that time, but in the16th century, Shakespeare's historical drama "Henry VI" marked the beginning of the war with two roses, which became a common term.

The name comes from the family badges chosen by Rosa Garica of Lancaster and Rosa× Alba of York.

The war ended with the marriage of henry vii of house of lancaster and Elizabeth of York, which also ended the rule of the French Plantagenet Dynasty in Britain and opened the rule of the Tudor Dynasty in New Wales. It also marks the end of the English Middle Ages and the beginning of a new Renaissance.

To commemorate this war, England took the rose (actually the rose of ancient Europe here) as the national flower, and changed the royal national emblem to red and white roses.
