A defining battle and a perfect storm decimated the Spanish Armada . The Armada was the largest most costly fleet assembled in the history of the world. Spain was intent not only on world supremacy, but also the conversion of England back to Catholicism. It was the beginning of the end for Spain.
Spain was the richest country in the world, but due to Prince Phillip's extravagance, English and French piracy, and over extending it's reach, it's power and supremacy declined in Europe.
They plundered riches of the New World , but eventually lost all through a succession of lost battles and the rebellion of native populations.
It was, however making great inroads into South America, destroying ancient cultures and enslaving native populations.

Well they mistreated local populaces and had to deal with Frnace, England and the Netherlands at the same time. By the time of the American Revolution's end, Spain was almost done as a world power. For a time it also fell under the sway of Napolean as he took over Spain shortly before being deposed in 1814. Eventually poor fiscal policy doomed Spain's influence in the America's

Greed. Spain became obsessed with plundering gold from native Americans. That caused inflation and economic malaise, followed by the decline of military power.

People revolt against the Spanish crown, most of the revolutions were led by mestizos, like in Mexico, Central and South America, only in Haiti the revolt was led by an African slave T. L'Ouverture

They lost their empire during the many wars they were in. Also because their treasury went broke and they couldn't defend their colonies.

Well, i´m glad they lost it. Imagine living under Torquemada and the Spanish inquisition. They persecuted Gods people so they reap what they sowed. The same will happen to other nations doing similar deeds. God bless you!!!

They lost all their wealth in their last war with England. They lost almost every ship. That was very costly. They never recovered, and never will. They have been too broke for too long.
