Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the second half of the sixteenth century in England, there was persecution of Catholics and the rise of Puritan influence. This period is also known as the Elizabethan era, with Queen Elizabeth I rejecting the papacy's attempts at reconciliation with the English throne. However, there was no civil war or overthrow of Elizabeth I, and while England did face a threat from Spain in 1588 with the Spanish Armada, it was not a major defeat.
