93 Words1 Pages
No, Drake was not fair to the Spanish. He repeatedly plundered them, taking their gold and most valuable possesions to England. Once there, he lied about where and how he had obtained them, telling Queen Elizabeth they had been got through trade. The Spanish, who were unaware that he had lied, consequently believed that England had abetted Drake in his wrongdoing, and this helped to lead the two countries to war. Through his greed and thievery, therefore, Drake was not only unfair to the Spanish, he helped to harm his own country also.
