What issues did Elizabeth 1 have with the Spanish?

Well, there were religious aspects. While England was protestant under Elizabeth, Spain was Catholic under Philip II, so it was natural to have antagonism. Next, Elizabeth executed the Catholic Queen of Scotland, Mary. This angered Philip because it crushed his hopes of a Catholic England. Also, the privateers of england, such as Sir Francis Drake, attacking the Spanish treasure ships helped to make relations worse. As another point, when Philip II asked for Elizabeth's hand in marriage, he was baltantly refused. All this helped worsen the relations of Spain and England, and contributed to the attack of the Spanish Armada.

All of England's pirates had been stealing gold from Spain's ships, and what made Philip madder was that Queen Elizabeth encouraged it. She would give the pirates praise and "knight" them. Elizabeth was so selfish she just wanted the gold for herself and did not think about the Spanish. Philip would of felt cheated, as he had sent ships specially to collect the gold and paid for it.                 Protestant Elizabeth was a protestant which Philip does not agree with as he is Catholic and Elizabeth is Queen of Church of England so she encourages England to be Protestant. Philip would of felt very strong views about his religion and felt that everyone else should be Catholic as well.           Elizabeth sent soldiers to fight against the Spanish When the Dutch were fighting Spain, Elizabeth sent soldiers to help the Dutch fight against the Spanish. Philip must have been very angry as she wanted to defeat him!
