Has the Spanish ever conquer England? If they did, what happen?

Answer 1

Tried. Failed. Mostly due to the weather, rather than what some historians would have you believe.
And to the guy who said British forces... when the Spanish Armada attempted invasion, it most definately wasn't the British that faced them, as the Union of the Crowns hadn't happened then, much less the Union of the Parliaments in, I think, 1706.

And for Zeta's benefit, England lost plenty territory over the years, mostly to the French. The Channel Islands are only still a British possesion because the French didn't bother invading them. Most of what is now France was, at one time, owned by the English Monarchy.

Answer 2

No. England specifically has been invaded by the Celts, the Romans, the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes, the Vikings, the Scots, the Normans, very, very briefly by the Dutch but never by the Spanish.

Part or all of England has been conquered by the Romans, the Angles, the Saxons, the Vikings and the Normans.

Queen Mary did marry the Spanish Prince Philip (Philip I, not Prince Philip II who fought so well against us later) in the Sixteenth century but that was a friendly arrangement normal among royal families and does not count as 'conquering'.

Answer 3

I don't believe Spain ever actually completely conquered England. They've tried before, when Philip II and his seemingful indestructable fleet of ships (the Spanish Armada) were defeated by England's fleet under Queen Elizabeth I in 1588.

Answer 4

The British and Spanish forces clashed in the North Atlantic in the late 1590s when the Spanish Armada was wiped out. They fought periodically in the 1600s and 1700s over Gibraltar and control of sea lanes.

Answer 5

England could win the floor conflict, simply by fact England ought to strengthen a huge military while Spain could have in basic terms the army that it ought to maintain on ships. lots of the Spanish ships could be blown out of the water by way of cannon on shore batteries, any surviving ships could discover British troops waiting to greet anybody silly adequate to bypass ashore. England had seem-outs observing for a Spanish invasion and a gadget of beacons (large fires) to warn of an assault, there ought to be no marvel invasion.

Answer 6

Britain was first colonised by Iberians, so in a way yes. Unhappy about the term 'conquer' as people of the old stone age (the Palaeolithic) were (and remain) peaceful.

Answer 7

No they never did, the last successful invasion was in 1066 by the Normans led by William The Conquerer.

Answer 8

All these twenty two years of my life, I've never heard of such thing. As far as I know England never lost any of its actual territories to anyone.

Answer 9

No they never did,,,,they tried a couple of times but failed

Answer 10

If they did all the waiters would be like Manuel off Fawlty Towers.
