The reason theyre remembered differently is a bit more complex than 'they only remember stuff that they won'.

The Spanish Armadas specific PLAN was to help invade England and overthrow the monarchy and put a Catholic on the throne. Where Spain was considered more powerful than England and at an advantage.

Defeating this, by whatever means, is going to leave a significant mark in the memory of the people of the time.

The English Armadas plans were a lot more modest, kick the Spanish fleet, grab a few random islands in the Atlantic, (the Azores), cause some local fuss by creating a rebellion in Portugal and maybe grab some Spanish treasure. These were, to the English at the time, far more vague and ephemeral goals than the Spanish Armadas, and the subsequent failure of it would have led to loads of grumbling in the local press for 6months and then everyone would move on.

The names, Spanish Armada vs English Armada may seem co-equal in nature, but the potential risk vs success were quite different in the way they would imprint on the people of the time.

I dont have a Spanish education but I bet that the failure of the English Armada doesnt come up much in Spanish History either, at least not to the extent that the Spanish Armada is mentioned in English History.

I mean, we're just guessing, he could have loved being a Nazi but didnt like the annual membership fees. I suspect though that he did have a change of heart, especially once he saw what was building up.

He joined the Nazis when he was 16, but left before the war started at the age of 24, eventually he was drafted. So I'm guessing he matured a bit and realised it was all a bit stupid. And the ban only lasted a few months until the revelation about hiding some Jews came out

This would then test the dogs memory and speed. The way its done tests the dogs ability to (quickly) understand and follow directions. Which is at the heart of most dog training concepts.

The idea is to test the ability of the dog to follow instructions given to it by its trainer. Its not a memory/speed test. SO you'll see a lot of instructions given to it at every step. Thats the test.

This change from Low Bypass Turbofan to High Bypass occurred in the 80s. Engines prior to this point provided all/most of their thrust from the central exhaust core.

The change occurred mainly because of fuel efficiency but it did require changes. The newer type have much larger fans than the old type and thus the engines on the wings will get closer to the ground meaning some design changes (higher wings/mounts).

The fan creates the thrust because it is very big and running very fast, like a prop. No real other reason.

I worked on the old style engines as they changed over to the new style.
