Everyone remembers the Spanish Armada's humiliating defeat

Because that's how anglos are

Because Spain never recovered and is still a shithole to this day whereas England went on to become the foremost global power for a long time.

In my opinion he peninsular war was the cause of our misery in the next centuries. End of the Empire, counter-enlightenment and counter-revolution politics with a huge traditionalist tendence, civil wars...

the peninsular war could have been avoided if the spanish monarch had a spine and didn't bend over to the french. Fighting the french on the pirenees would have been easier too

He literally made a plot to usurp the throne of his father, allowed the invasion of Napo, then killed any liberal who fought the french invasion to restore him as the king of Spain, and later allowed another french invasion. You couldn't ask much from him.
