Her reign witnessed widespread increase in literacy and great achievements in the arts  - great poets and playrights emerged during her era such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, Christopher Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh)

The reign of Queen Elizabeth I also saw significant expansion overseas. Great explorers were encouraged such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Richard Greenville

She achieved an excellent reputation as a good and wise ruler, who was truly loved by her people - she was highly accomplished in the art of rhetoric and Public Relations

Queen Elizabeth I surrounded herself with highly intelligent and loyal advisors such as Sir William Cecil, Sir Francis Walsingham and  Sir Robert Cecil who gave her sound political advice

A major accomplishment was the defeat of the Spanish Armada of 132 by the English fleet of  34 ships and 163 armed merchant vessels under Lord Howard of Effingham, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Hawkins

Queen Elizabeth adopted a moderate religious policy. The Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity (1559), the introduction of the Prayer Book of 1559, and the Thirty-Nine Articles (1563) were all Protestant in doctrine, but preserved many traditionally Catholic ceremonies.

Answer 2

I'll try to keep it short, and easy to get coz theres a lot there.

1: She was the first queen who reigned in her own right. Meaning she inherited the crown unmarried and never married (therefore giving up her power.)

2: She was an incredible leader - she inherited a country broke, divided and kind of a secondary power to others like Spain and France, and took charge by building up the treasury, uniting the country and creating an empire.

3: She ended a very long rivalry between Protestants and Catholics, which was largely fuelled by her father (who sacked Catholic churches and monestaries) and her sister (who burned non-Catholics at the state) by uniting everyone under Church of England, and by stopping persecuting people who were against her.

4: She built a commonwealth by creating colonies all over the world, many of which are still there today.

5: She was a big mystery - a single woman, who had questionable relationships with men, and who had massive amounts of power.

There are so many other things that made her great, for a whole lot of great info check out www.tudorhistory.org

Answer 3

Because she was a strong leader, which was unheard of for a queen back then. The monarchy was the King's job, the man's job. Queen Elizabeth kicked butt and took names.
