The Americas Rivalry between
Spain and England led England to send English privateers (fancy word for pirates) to attack Spanish ships and ports, and steal Spanish treasure from the Americas.
Sir Francis Drake made his name
stealing Spanish gold.

The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire…
Eventually, after colonizing parts of Africa and Asia, the British Empire became the largest empire in history.

The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire… At the peak of its power, it was
often said that “The sun never sets on the British Empire" because it was so big that the sun was always shining on at least one of its many colonies.
