Philip II of Spain's reign led to significant negative effects, including the decline of Spanish power due to costly military campaigns, such as the failed invasion of England in 1588. His strict Catholic policies and the Inquisition intensified religious persecution, contributing to social unrest and the loss of valuable populations, particularly in the Netherlands. Additionally, his focus on centralized control and bureaucracy often stifled local governance and economic innovation, leading to stagnation in Spain's economy.
