Why was called the Golden Age?

When Maria I was in the throne England was devastated because the many died was made for the battles between Catholic and Protestants. an other point was the economic of the Kingdom was fell and Spain became in Empire and his econimy was very well.

But in 1558 Elizabeth I came to the throne and the history of the Kingdom changed.She quickly decided in became the Kingdom in Anglican .She and her counselors gave the permission to the Companies  for the expedition in the New World.

Elizabeth I sets the grounds of the British Empire because she gave the permission for the expedition and companies colined parts of the new world for example Virginia.When England won Spain in the war between Catholic and protestants the trust of England crow and She and her couselors created different companies in her colonies (India. USA, Canada, etc) and the economy crow and the British empire was more big than the Spain empire.

Other important point was the Elizabeth Era coincided with the culture explosion because in this time were  opened more school, the people had pasion for literature and were the Era for William Shakespeare and others playwriths and painters.

But Golden  Age didn't last forever because in the last years of the Elizabeth I in the throne  she was many problems with the people and  her town was unhappy with the Queen for example In Irish the rebellion  was  broke and the war with Spain continued.In 1603 Elizabeth I died   and  Jacobo I the England came to the throne.

The historians was called the Elizbeth Era like the Golden Age because the Kingdom was prosperous in the economy, religion ,culture and the Kingdom was expanding for the new World and people most of the time was happy with the Queen . They said "The good Queen Bess"
