Vs. ‘The decline in Anglo-Spanish relations in the years 1568-85 was caused by Elizabeth I’ How far do you agree? [16+4Spag] Immediate considerations: Date range – make sure what you talk about is within the date range of the question (1568-85) eg: Mary, Queen of Scots & Babington Plot are not valid examples. What ‘extent’ do you agree? Remember there has to be 2 sides to your argument but it doesn't have to be 50/50 Conclusion – Make sure you evaluate why your examples led to declining relations and why they might have had more of a role, eg… Although Philip worried about Spanish forces so close to England, that was more her own worry, whereas Elizabeth actually directly attacked Philip by telling Drake to attack his ships and colonies, or, Elizabeth had been niggling Philip for years… Totally disagree Totally agree Lesser extent Larger extent Agree / Support Statement: Elizabeth’s fault Disagree: Other reasons 1568 Genoese Loan, Sea Beggars Encouraging Drake to attack Spanish colonies and ships, 1570’s - £400,000 Knighting Drake in 1580 after his successful raid on the new world Indirect intervention in the Netherlands (Casimir, Alencon) Direct intervention in the Netherlands (Leicester, 7600 troops etc) Keeping Mary, Queen of Scots under arrest Treaty of Nonsuch 1585 Dutch Revolt 1568 Spanish control of Netherlands was a threat due to being so close to England Philip supported Ridolfi Plot – agreeing to send 10,000 soldiers. He also offered financial support to the Throckmorton Plot Pope’s excommunication of Elizabeth 1570 Treaty of Joinville 1584 – Spain & France joined forces in a holy war against Protestants Death of Alencon & William of Orange in 1585 Note: These are just a selection of examples you could use Consider how some of these examples were in retaliation to other examples
