WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sir Francis Drake is best known for circumnavigating Earth (1577–80), preying on Spanish ships along the way. Later he was credited for his defense of England by raiding Spain’s harbour at Cádiz in 1587 and (according to many sources) by disrupting the Spanish Armada in the English Channel with fire ships in 1588.

Detailed explanation-2: -During his circumnavigation of the world, English seaman Francis Drake anchors in a harbor just north of present-day San Francisco, California, and claims the territory for Queen Elizabeth I.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first potatoes to reach England were most likely brought by the Spanish by the 1570s (a decade before Drake’s travels). However, he did return to England with tobacco and potatoes on the conclusion of his 1586 voyage to America.
