Did Elizabeth stop England getting invaded?

Elizabeth stopped the Spanish from invading England in 1588 when they sent the Spanish Armada to invade England. The Spanish Armada was a fleet of 130 ships, which was the largest fleet ever assembled up to that point. The English fleet, which was much smaller, was able to defeat the Spanish Armada in a series of battles. This victory was a turning point in English history, as it secured England's independence and made it a major power in Europe.
