You were asked – TMP link What would you consider militarily to be a 'black day' for Spain? And in the final round of voting: 29% said "Battle of Manila Bay/Battle of Cavite – 1 May 1898" 19% said "Battle of Gravelines – 13 July 1558" 16% said "Battle of Trafalgar – 21 October 1805"

LOL, Gravelines at 13 July 1558 a black day?..for whom?…for the French will be, because the beating that the Spaniards gave him … Another thing will be The Naval Battle of Gravelines at 8 august 1588. I guess they will have confused the date.
