Spain was eclipsed by England after all Jews were expelled.

Actually, Spain expelled the Jews in 1492, and then began its rise to prominence.

Although its armada was defeated in 1588, the Spanish Empire didn’t begin its collapse until Napoleon invaded Spain, leading to the loss of most of its colonies.

That isn't borne out by historical facts:

Spain was far more powerful than England from 1491 when Spain was formed, right until the Napoleonic wars, though it (Spain) declined from the mid 1700s while the UK was on the ascent

This has no correlation to the presence or absence of Jews.
