Made up of some 150 ships and 18,000 men, Spain's "Invincible Armada" proved not-so-invincible when what country defeated it in 1588?

The Spanish Armada met its match in the English naval force when it was crushed in 1588 off the coast of France. The Armada gained the "invincible" reputation due to the fleet sailing in a crescent shape which proved difficult to attack. With fateful winds working in their favor, Lord Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake led a successful campaign against the Armada, ending the Spanish invasion.
