Sir Francis Drake, while celebrated as an explorer and privateer, caused significant problems during his expeditions. His attacks on Spanish ships and settlements strained Anglo-Spanish relations, contributing to heightened tensions that eventually led to the Anglo-Spanish War. Additionally, his raids disrupted trade routes and contributed to the economic instability of Spanish colonies, fostering resentment and conflict. His actions also set a precedent for piracy and privateering, complicating international maritime law.
