Even Caesar had a nasty experience with the English natives using bad weather between storms and rain to screw with him over, losing cavalry to mud and had to flee. They made Roman invasion of England extremely expensive and unrewarding. Much like the Russians typically use the winter against enemies, England's traditionally used rain and storms to their advantage. Mud and storms are our best friends. Traditionally, Britain's military and navy has used smaller numbers relying more on strategy than power.

It was alot less graceful than the movies depict. Women were still treated not much better than cattle. young girls forced to marry, in many cases, older men... in order to increase the rank of their family. That being said... only a select few in society could live this "graceful" life while the lower classes suffer... and are treated very poorly because they are not "highborn". This was also an era where the church was very corrupt. They committed a massive amount of atrocities... and ruled through terror. yes this period was very beautiful. But very... very deeply flawed. Basic human rights and freedoms were virtually non existent.

[@nadiyakaralash7878]

Cody Bell Our era now is very deeply flawed too.

Incredible performance by Cate Blanchett!

God bless Cate's performance!!! Power! xXx

The one person in history and to this day that has demonstrated true love for their country. She even joined herself in marriage to England. She is a wonderful queen and an exceptionally good actress.

MASTER CLASE ACTING ,,,Bravo!!!

Always my favourite scene no matter that I have seen it 50 times, and Cate is the best!

[@KlaidosHollande]

The conviction in *"I, too, can command the wind sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!!"* is just sooo epic, man!😂❤❤

[@B8ct78]

In the end her hurricane did strip Spain bare since 3 of their armadas got broken up by storms basically bankrupting Spain and causing its decline.

[@electricwhiteboy]

Spain failed from within because it was taking so much gold from South America it destroyed the Spanish economy, then there was years of decline through the Habsburg's inbreeding. Elizabeth's invasion of Spain stalled pathetically on the north west coast and was barely effected Spain. It was far from conflict with Elizabeth or any attempted invasion of England that caused Spain's demise.

Also england try the same and failed

[@jonlerones1610]

Right after the Spanish aramada was sunk, the English send an even bigger armada to Spain and it was sunk by the Spanish, and the peace treaty of the war was very favorable to Spain

[@B8ct78]

@@jonlerones1610 I’ll start on your dumbest point. The war was undeclared so you what you’re saying is complete stupidity. Next on, the English didn’t send a bigger armada (they had fewer ships, just more soldiers because they didn’t have a place to hold troops like the Spanish did in the Netherlands) and not only that but the Spanish sent 2 more armadas after the 2nd one (all of which failed) which actually bankrupted Spain due to their giant size.

The chad "I can command the wind" versus the virgin "There is a tempest in me"

[@imcallingjapan2178]

Elizabeth was a virgin, you prune.

[@lilamazon]

totally agree with you. Elizabeth is definitely a Daddy's girl. that very temper speaks volume. btw, outstanding performance from Cate Blanchett!!!

[@Gunner192]

It's not like she could've been a mommy's girl. In this movie she makes reference to her father murdering her mother. I've read dialogue from historians that there is no she ever mentioned it.

[@lb8141]

[@monikamylonopoyloy6223]

+laminage She is beyond perfection in Carol

[@laminage]

+Monika Mylonopoyloy Yes. Rooney Mara saw her in Elizabeth and was mesmerized. Hard to believe that Rooney almost turned it down because she was burned out doing Two Movies Back To Back. Mia Wasiskowa was supposed to play Therese Belivet but she didn't. Cate and Rooney had ten times more chemistry in my opinion.

[@nathandenault3136]

This was a brave move for Elizabeth to make. I always kind of considered this moment in history, the equivalent of what the founding fathers first felt when they sent off the declaration of independence. At this time, Spain was the most powerful empire in the world.
