Answer: "READ THIS IT SHOULD BE IN HERE!!!"

"Explanation:he Dutch Revolt (1568–1648)[note 1] was the revolt of the northern, largely Protestant Seven Provinces of the Low Countries against the rule of the Roman Catholic Habsburg King Philip II of Spain, hereditary ruler of the provinces. The northern provinces (Netherlands) eventually separated from the southern provinces (present-day Belgium and Luxembourg), which continued under Habsburg Spain until 1714. "

"The religious "clash of cultures" built up gradually but inexorably into outbursts of violence against the perceived repression of the Habsburg Crown. These tensions led to the formation of the independent Dutch Republic, whose first leader was William the Silent (William of Orange), followed by several of his descendants and relations. This revolt was one of the first successful secessions in Europe, and led to one of the first European republics of the modern era, the United Provinces."

Answer:

Philip King of Spain focused on his goal to stop the expansion of Protestantism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being a devout Catholic, Philips II considered himself the defender and protector of Catholicism, especially from the Protestants and Muslims. He focused on defending it and regenerating it spiritually.

He banned the accommodation of Protestants in Spain by the Church. He wanted Spain to Catholicise. He was a stern protester of Protestantism and devoted himself in campaigns against them.
