Elizabeth's Aims

• AIM 1: Protect cloth trade between England and the Netherlands
• AIM 2: Prevent hostile countries building up a power base along the English Channel
• AIM 3: Protect Northern borders - As the Scots were allied with France
• By Mary losing France, Elizabeth had less of an aim to invade and fight France
• HOW WAS SHE DIFFERENT TO THE AIMS OF HENRY VII AND HENRY VIII?

  Henry VII - Secure dynasty, national security, promote trade and used diplomacy.

  • Henry VIII - Sought glory then became less pragmatic.
