Spain was the dominant sea power in Europe beginning in medieval times, but this effectively ended with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. After a century of near-unilateral exploration of the New World, Spain was effectively challenged by other countries, notably the Dutch, the French, and the British.
