The Dutch West India Company was established in 1621 to compete with Spain and Portugal for territory and trade in the New World. It aimed to exploit the resources of the Americas, particularly in the Caribbean and parts of North America, and to establish a foothold in lucrative trade routes.

The buffer zone served as a barrier against potential invasions and conflicts, allowing Spain to secure its trade routes and resources. Additionally, it aimed to facilitate the spread of Spanish influence and control over indigenous populations in the region. By creating this zone, Spain hoped to strengthen its foothold in North America and maintain stability in its colonial holdings.

Revolts during the age in Europe against Spain can be separated by revolts in Europe and revolts in the New World. In Europe, Spain was faced with a revolt in Portugal and in the Netherlands. Both these countries were in part controlled by Spain. Most in Europe occurred in the 17th & 18th Centuries. In the New World, many of Spain's colonies in Mexico and in South America were spawned in the 19th century. At the end of it all, Spain finally lost a foothold in the Netherlands and Portugal. In the New World, its colonies eventually won their freedom from Spain.
