Beautiful cannon. What would the world be like today if the armada has succeed?
That’s a tough “what-if” ... the English Civil War might never have taken place, replaced by years or decades of popular resistance to Spanish rule, a Scottish invasion or more than one, perhaps an early beginning to the united monarchy, perhaps an early end to the monarchy, and of course, no industrial revolution. The American colonies might have stayed under Spanish rule, or might have thrown it off 150 years earlier, or might have preferred French rule.
