Why did German U-boats sink unarmed Allied ships such as Lusitania?
Many of the unarmed ships were engaged in getting arms and explosives to England. As ships not carrying war materials were not "certified safe" all vessels were sunk to ensure the transport of such materials.This process is carried on today when hospitals and schools are routinely destroyed as possible "enemy headquarters" and wedding gatherings are shot up as potential "insurgent assemblies" by America and its allied in their Middle East.

What happened to the Spanish armada?
It was defeated and many of its ships were sunk in gales on the coasts of Scotland and Ireland. After declining to attack the British fleet enroute to pick up an army, the Armada anchored at Calais. A night attack scattered the ships and led to a one-sided battle the following day. Most of the Armada could not reach friendly lands, and ships were battered by North Sea storms as they sought to circle westward for their return to Spain. As many as half of its ships were wrecked and many men were captured and killed in Ireland. Still more crewmen were lost to starvation and disease.
Did England beat the Spanish armada by luck or skill?
The Spanish Armada set sail with 150 great ships but they returned to Spain with 67. The beating of the Armada was a combination of both luck and skill but England's main weapon was their new and improved weapons. The Spanish had more planning but as the English had just designed a new set of ships, which were just as big as those in the Armada, but as they were lower and lighter due to the cheaper and less heavy cannons the ships could be manoeuvred better. This was a huge advantage. Before many of the ships were lost by Scotland (due to bad weather conditions), the English set fire to some of their ships and drove them into the Spanish.
Did queen Elizabeth win any wars?
Yes she did. Her English army technically won the Spanish Armada but they didn't really do much to them as it was the wind that defeated the Armada.

What did the Sea Dogs do in the Spanish Armada?
The ships weren't superior to those of the Spanish armada. Instead supposedly there was an English wind which made the ship sail faster and the English used that to their advantage. They ended up setting their ships on fire and sent them ramming into the Spanish ships. Due to the wind, by the time the Spanish realized what was happening, it was to late to turn around.

Did Elizabeths people spot the Spanish Armada while they were in Calais?
Yes. They had spotted them before that and had chased them up the English Channel until the Armada had stopped in Calais. Whilst the Spanish were in Calais, the English sent burning ships into the Armada and the Spanish panicked. Only two-thirds of the Armada made it back to Spain alive after being chased around Britain by the English.

When did the Spaniards get back to Spain in the Spanish armada?

Why did the Spanish armada fail to beat the English?
The Spanish Armada lost the Battle of Gravelines for a variety of reasons including bad luck. The reasons that they lost the battle were they had the wind against them, a brand new commander with no experience and also worse tactics than the English. Their commander, the 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia, had no qualifications to lead an armada. He alone could have lost this battle for the Spanish but they had even more things against them and these could be the worst of all. The thing that hurt the Spanish the most was their tactics and policy with their big guns or cannons. The Duke did not bring enough food with him for the journey. He also had poor maps. The Spanish only fired their cannons maybe two or three times a day and only when the the were right along side of an English ship; while the English shot theirs so much that they were constantly running out of ammunition. The Spanish didn't believe it necessary to teach their men how to load a cannon after it was fired. The wind played a powerful part in this battle. It wreaked havoc on the large Spanish ships, while hardly affecting the smaller, more mobile English ships. Eventually, many of the Spanish ships wound up on the coast of Scotland, and Ireland, where people came down to the shores to kill the soldiers and burn the ships. The Spanish had bad luck and poor weather. The Spanish were sighted off Lizard Point on the 29th of July really gave the English an advantage.
