The Dutch took control of the spice trade by establishing the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 17th century. The VOC used superior naval power to gain control of key spice-producing regions in Southeast Asia, particularly the Moluccas (Spice Islands), and monopolized the trade by enforcing exclusive contracts with local rulers. The Dutch also developed trading posts and fortresses to protect their interests and expand their influence in the region.

The Netherlands used to be under the Spanish crown, so after their 80 years war, there was hostilities between the now independent Dutch state and Spain. Spain won control over the Iberian Peninsula after the Reconquista, which meant they had control over Lisbon as well. King Phillip II closed the ports to the Lisbon spice market because the Dutch did not agree with his taxes or the inquisition. Basically just beef between the two countries.
