The Dutch revolted against Spanish rule in the late 16th century primarily due to religious persecution, heavy taxation, and the desire for independence. The conflict was fueled by the Protestant Reformation, as many Dutch were Protestant and opposed the Catholic Habsburg rule. England supported the Dutch in their struggle against Spain for both political and economic reasons, seeing it as an opportunity to weaken a powerful rival and to promote Protestantism in Europe. Additionally, England sought to secure trade routes and interests in the region.
