While the Spaniards relied on power, the English depended on God's providence, as led by Queen Elizabeth I in 1588. When the Spanish Armada attacked the British fleet, Elizabeth, the warrior queen, committed her life and country to God as she spoke to her troops and inspected her soldiers before battle.
During battle, a storm rose and destroyed 65 of the armada's 130 ships but none of the English ships were destroyed. After the victory, the English government inscribed a victory medal saying "God blew and they were scattered."
