The reasons for the liberation struggle of the Netherlands against Spain under Charles 5.

Under Charles 5, the Dutch liberation war against Spain took place. The reason for the revolution in the 16-17 centuries in these latitudes was the discontent of the population with the orders of the metropolis. The Netherlands was dependent on Spain, so their freedom was limited. Trade was allowed only with a few states; high customs duties were imposed on the import of products. This increased the cost of products and ruined enterprises. At the same time, the Catholic Church persecuted Protestants and adherents of other religions.
