Spain tried to forcibly suppress Protestantism, which had gained a lot of followers in The Netherlands. Also, it had introduced 3 new taxes in the Netherlands which the Dutch considered a gross infringement of their ancient rights and privileges. The duke of Alba, sent by the king to restore order, instead did everything to make anti-Spanish sentiments even much worse. Moreover, the Dutch had found a leader in William of Orange, one of the Governors of the king of Spain in the Netherlands.
The Dutch got support from the British because the British were fellow-Protestants who - think of the Armada - had a number of bones of their own to pick with Spain. Britain also saw the advantages of gaining influence in The Netherlands through their help and in doing so, getting a very useful foothold for influence in continental European affairs.
