Queen Elizabeth I of England harbored animosity towards Spain primarily due to religious and political tensions. As a Protestant monarch, she opposed the Catholic Habsburgs, who ruled Spain and sought to re-establish Catholicism in England. Additionally, Spain's support for Mary, Queen of Scots, and its ambitions to expand its influence in Europe threatened Elizabeth's reign. This rivalry culminated in conflicts like the Spanish Armada's failed invasion in 1588, further deepening her disdain for Spain.
