King Philip IV. It was driven by the economic and religious rivalry between the two countries, with each side attacking the other's commercial and colonial interests in various ways, such as privateering and naval expeditions. In , an English amphibious expedition invaded Spanish territory in the Caribbean, eventually capturing the island of Jamaica. In , England formed an alliance with France , merging the Anglo-Spanish war with the larger Franco-Spanish War , with major land actions that took place in the Spanish Netherlands.
Although the war was terminated after The Restoration of King Charles II of England in , tensions in the Caribbean with regards to the English possession of Jamaica kept the conflict going intermittently for over ten years. This included raids on Spanish territory by notable Privateer Henry Morgan. The war officially ended with two peace treaties, which were signed at Madrid in and When the First Anglo-Dutch War came to an end, Cromwell turned his attention to the conflict between France and Spain , both traditional rivals of England.
France and Spain were both of the Roman Catholic faith, anathema to Cromwell, who believed it is God's will that Protestantism should prevail in Europe. However, he considered Spain to be the greater threat to the Protestant cause, and thus pragmatically allied his nation with France.
By going to war with Spain, he also sought a return to a policy of commercial opportunism pursued in the days of Elizabeth I and subsequently abandoned by her Stuart successors. Cromwell's attack on Spanish trade and treasure routes immediately recalled the exploits of Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh ; and it is not by accident that printed accounts of their activities began to circulate in England at this time.
There was, however, one important difference: alongside silver and gold a new treasure was becoming ever more important β sugar. This meant occupation of territory, a step beyond the piracy pursued in Elizabethan days.
