First, the Counter-Armada. The Anglo world often gloat over the first Armada battle, but they fail to mention how they got an even more humilitating loss when the English sent ships. England: 11,000–18,000 killed, wounded or died of disease, 40 ships captured, sunk or scuttled. Spain: 900 dead or wounded, 3 galleons destroyed, 13 merchant ships.

Also the Battle of Cartagena de Indias, led by the great Blas de Lezo. England: 9,500–11,500 dead, 7,500 wounded and sick
1,500 guns lost, 6 Royal Navy ships lost, 17 Royal Navy ships of the line heavily damaged, 4 frigates and 27 transports lost. Spain: 800 dead, 1,200 wounded, 6 ships lost, 5 forts, 3 batteries. In both battles England had many times more personnel as Spain yet they still lose.

England could not defeat Spain in war, so they wait until Spain was in a weaker state, then spread black legend propaganda in the Hispanic world to promote infighting.
