Elisabeth I of England saw Catholic Spain as a threat to the non-catholic nations of Europe. Holland issued Letter of Marque to private ships captains to attack the Spanish vessels at sea. Elisabeth I allowed these ships th use English port facilities. When the English captains saw the profits the Dutch captains were making they prevailed on the Queen to issue Letters of Marque to them. They terrorized the Spanish in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean attacking both at sea and on land. The Sea Dogs were active from 1560 to 1605.
