Most individual investors borrowed money to buy stocks and many of them also bought these stocks on margin, meaning they only actually paid for 80% - 90% of the stock they had had borrowed money to buy.

Many of the conquistadors that went to the Americas had gained their skills fighting in D.The Reconquista.
<h3>What was the Reconquista?</h3>
The Reconquista was a conflict in Spain that lasted for more than 700 years and involved the Christian people of Spain trying to take back lands that had been captured by the Muslims who invaded in 711 CE.

The Spanish Inquisition had been instituted by Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille in 1478. Philip's reign in Spain came a century later, from 1556-1598.
The answer about "divine right to rule as an absolute monarch" is certainly true of Philip II, but we might want to be careful about assigning that idea as a Catholic idea only. In Philip's case, he certainly would have used it that way over against Protestant challengers. But in the course of history, rulers on both the Catholic and Protestant sides would subscribe to the idea of diving right monarchy.
