During the late 16th century, England played a significant role in supporting the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule, known as the Eighty Years' War. This support was driven by both political and religious motivations, as England sought to counter Spanish power in Europe and promote Protestantism. Queen Elizabeth I provided financial aid and military assistance to the Dutch rebels, recognizing their struggle against Catholic Spain as aligned with England's interests. This intervention ultimately contributed to the establishment of the Dutch Republic as a significant maritime and commercial power.

That depends on which era you are talking about. In the 16th century it was William of Orange who led the Dutch revolt against Spain. In the 19th century it was Simon Bolivar who led the revolution in many of Spain's colonies in South America. In the 1930's it was Francisco Franco, who started Spain's civil war.
