Spain attacked England in the late 1500s primarily due to religious and political tensions. The rise of Protestantism in England under Queen Elizabeth I threatened Catholic Spain, which sought to reassert Catholic dominance in Europe. Additionally, England's support for Spanish enemy states and privateers, who raided Spanish ships and settlements, further escalated hostilities. The culmination of these tensions led to the launch of the Spanish Armada in 1588, aimed at overthrowing Elizabeth and restoring Catholic rule in England.
