What eventually happened to the Spanish Armada as they went on the

attack? (include why they retreated and what happened to them)

A giant Spanish invasion fleet was completed by 1587, but Sir Francis Drake's daring raid on the Armada's supplies in the port of Cadiz delayed the Armada's departure until May 1588 ... Delayed by storms that temporarily forced it back to Spain, the Armada did not reach the southern coast of England until July 19.
