The Spanish referred to Sir Francis Drake as a "pirate" because he conducted acts of privateering against Spanish ships and ports during the late 16th century. Drake's successful raids, including the famous attack on the Spanish fleet at Cadiz in 1587 and his circumnavigation of the globe, threatened Spanish interests and sovereignty in the Americas. His actions were seen as a direct challenge to Spanish dominance, leading to animosity and the labeling of him as an enemy of the Spanish crown.
