** 26-Oct-2020 World View: English crisis wars
England's crisis war was the attack of the 'Invicible' Spanish Armada
in 1588.
This led to an Awakening era in England in the 1600s decade, at which
time the King James Bible was created. After that, the next crisis
war was the English Civil War, following by an Awakening era which
climaxed in 1689 with the Glorious Revolution, which was a "velvet
coup" or "bloodless revolution," of a kind that often occur as an
Awakening era climax. (The resignation of Richard Nixon is another
example.) England's next crisis war was the War of the Spanish
Succession, climaxing in 1709 with the disastrous Battle of
Malplaquet.
I summarized the English timeline in my article on 2011 on the
King James Bible:

However, keep in mind that the there was a split in the timelines
between the English and the Pilgrims who went to the Netherlands and
then to America. They were no longer in an Awakening era. For them,
the trip to America was like at crisis war, so they went through
a "first turning reset," came to America in a Recovery Era. Their
next crisis war was King Philip's war in the 1670s. I wrote
about all of this in the following article:

America's Revolutionary War was a crisis war for the colonists, but a
non-crisis war for the English.
