The Dutch fought for their freedom from Spanish rule during the Eighty Years' War, which lasted from 1568 to 1648. This conflict was primarily driven by a desire for independence and religious freedom, as the Protestant population sought to break away from Catholic Spanish dominance. Key figures in this struggle included William of Orange, who emerged as a leader of the Dutch revolt. Ultimately, the war resulted in the recognition of Dutch independence with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
