The tension between the Habsburgs and England involved

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conflict between England and the Habsburgs was based on religious and political differences, particularly the Protestant Queen Elizabeth's opposition to the Habsburg's Catholic Spain. The Habsburgs were the ruling family of Spain, which was a major European power at the time. This tension eventually led to military conflicts, such as the Spanish Armada, as well as political and economic battles over trade and colonization in the New World. Option A is incorrect because the Habsburg Netherlands were part of the Habsburg Empire and not a threat to the Habsburgs. Option B is incorrect because there is no mention of a French-English royal marriage. Option D is incorrect because there is no mention of an English-Prussian alliance. Option E is incorrect because there is no mention of a Habsburg-Ottoman alliance.
