"The Year after the Armada and Other Historical Studies" by Martin A. S. Hume is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work offers an in-depth examination of the events and ramifications following the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, focusing on significant military and political maneuvers involving Spain, England, and Portugal during that period. Hume draws on lesser-known manuscripts and contemporary documents to shed light on this pivotal moment in European history. At the start of the narrative, Hume provides a detailed analysis of the Spanish Armada's disastrous attempt to invade England, emphasizing the demoralization of the Spanish fleet following their defeat. He recounts the events leading to the desire for vengeance in Spain and the political maneuvering that ensued, particularly highlighting Philip II's attempts to reassert his country's honor. The author goes on to discuss the preparation for a counter-invasion and details the complicated interactions between notable figures, such as Dom Antonio, the Portuguese pretender to the throne, and English leaders like Sir Francis Drake. Overall, the opening sets the stage for a multifaceted exploration of the historical consequences of the Armada's defeat and the ensuing conflicts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
