Protestant Wind

The phrase Protestant Wind has been used in more than one context, notably:
  1. The storm that lashed the Spanish Armada. It saved England from being invaded by the Empire of Spain, and wreaked the Spanish fleet. This event is similar to the kamikaze typhoon that saved Japan from the Mongols three centuries earlier.
  1. The favourable winds that enabled William of Orange to land in England and depose the Catholic King James II.
