Revenge

In 1570 AD Sir Francis Drake returned to the Spanish Main in the West Indies and Central America, but this time, it was for a different purpose..revenge. He wanted to get them back after the time he went on an expedition against them when he was in Judith and the Spaniards had sunk most of his ships at San Juan Ulua and he had escaped. For three years there, he had made himself a hated person. He realized that Panama was one of the weaker parts of the Spanish empire, and used this knowledge for his advantage. All the goods and silver were then shipped from Nombre de Dios to Spain. He crossed many lands including Vera Cruz, Portebello, and the Isthmus of Panama. He promised himself to sail an English ship in that sea someday, and by the time he got back to Plymouth Harbor in 1577 he was both rich and famous.
