This is a really helpful quiz, but I don't think Elizabeth had good relations with Spain by 1588. She certainly did with France and the Netherlands, but she was still at war with Spain then. The two countries were at war until Elizabeth and Philip's deaths in 1603 and 1598 respectively. I could be wrong, though!
