Xa ndisondela kule ncwadi yayingekho ngaphezulu kwe-chauvinism. Ndifumanise nje ukuba ndinomdla wokufunda ngento ebonakala ngathi siyifundisiwe ngocalucalulo. Kufanelekile ukuba ngo-1588 umkhosi ongenakoyiswa ISpanishi yoyiswa kwiinjongo zayo zokuhlasela iNgilani kodwa, ukongeza kwinto yokuba imfazwe yokugqibela yavalwa kwiSivumelwano saseLondon, esivumelana neSpeyin, kwabakho amadabi amaninzi apho iinqanawa zase-Iberia zavela zoyisa.
Njengoko ixesha lihamba, ithemba lezo duels elwandle, ngakumbi phakathi kweSpain neNgilani, kufuneka ziqwalaselwe ngokupheleleyo. Ngaphandle kokuba eSpain sithanda i-fatalism ngakumbi kwaye sigcine kwinkumbulo ezo zihlandlo apho soyiswayo.
Kodwa kwakhona kufanele kuphawulwe ukuba, phakathi kweengxabano ezininzi ezisiliwa esazulwini solwandle, ezinye iingxelo zoko kwenzekayo ziye zaba yintsomi, nemida yazo emfiliba phakathi kokwenyani kunye nentelekelelo. Yintoni eqinisekileyo kukuba, ngenxa yento eyenzekayo emva kwedabi ngalinye (apho iSpain yafumana loo ndebe ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo kunye nemimandla), ukuba nobuchule bolwandle kunye nolwandle, olo lwazi lobugcisa bemfazwe phakathi kweemasti kunye neeseyile ayinakuphikiswa.
