circumnavigation of the globe started in 1577 and took 3 years. 5 During his voyage Drake found Australia and returned with riches stolen from Spanish colonies. 6 The Spanish
Armada sailed from Spain in 1588 to invade England. 7 When the
Spanish Armada arrived in the harbour of Calais, the English attacked with
fireships. 8 When
Shakespeare came to London, he was so successful that by 1599 he was the

wrote his plays in his home town, where he retired in 1611. 10 Elizabeth chose
