as you can why Philip II decided to invade
England.
(3) Study sources A5 and
A6. (a) Compare these two different accounts of why the Spanish Armada
was defeated. (b) Give one reason why these two historians took different
views on this subject.
(4) Read the British and
Spanish accounts on the Spanish Armada (A8 to A31). Print out the

why it is important to historians to study sources that have been
produced by people from different nationalities when writing about
military conflict.
