The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I of England…

1540 CE to 1683 CE

The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I of England sympathizes with the Dutch struggle against the Spanish, and sends an army of seventy-six hundred soldiers to aid the Dutch in their war with the Catholic Spanish.

The English army, under command of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester is of no real benefit to the Dutch rebellion.

Philip II, the son of Charles V, is not prepared to let them go easily, and war continues until 1648, when Spain under King Philip IV finally recognize the independence of the seven north-western provinces in the Peace of Münster.

Parts of the southern provinces become de facto colonies of the new republican-mercantile empire.
