The Dutch didn't rebel against Spain. They rebelled against the Catholic Church and their ruler,The Count of Habsburg, who by the way, was also the King of Spain, and the Holy Roman Emperor. Being a good Catholic, and Holy Roman Emperor, he quite naturally objected.

Because Henry VIII, of England, left the Roman Catholic Church he had continuous problems with that church. When Elizabeth I succeeded him as monarch she felt obligated to assist any other group that was trying to get out from under the strict control of the Pope in Rome.

England and the Netherlands were both Protestant.
