Years: 1540 - 1683
Spain is the military and diplomatic standard-bearer of the Counter-Reformation.
Spanish fleets defeat the Turks at Malta (1565) and at Lepanto (1572) — events celebrated even in hostile England.
These victories prevent the Mediterranean from becoming an Ottoman lake.
The defeat of the Grand Armada in 1588 averts the planned invasion of England but is not a permanent setback for the Spanish fleet, which recovers and continues to be an effective naval force in European waters.
