Elizabeth went to war with Spain because, King Philip II of Spain, wanted to marry Elizabeth and she refused, which annoyed him and what also annoyed him is that she didn't do anything to stop her British captains bombing and sinking his ships.

And, Philip was Catholic and Elizabeth was Protestant. And he starting killing Protestants, but Elizabeth sent British troops so they could for them care and make sure they were safe.

But Elizabeth agreed to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, a Catholic, who Philip wanted to be Queen, a Catholic Queen, but she was executed and Philip decided that he would start war on England, to destroy Elizabeth's Protestant government!
