Best Answer

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.
