Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Dutch rebelled against the Spanish in 1567 because Philip II, the king of Spain at the time, reorganized their churches under Catholic hierarchy. This led to religious oppression, as most Dutch were Protestant and did not want to follow the Catholic Church. This sparked a rebellion that eventually led to the Eighty Years' War, which resulted in the formation of an independent Dutch state.
