Answer:
Philip II was the emperor of the Spanish Empire from 1556 to 1598. In the time of Philip, Spain reached the peak of its power, but it also knew its limits. During his reign, Spain was embroiled in increasingly complex conflicts. Thus, despite the ever-increasing flow of gold and silver from American mines, despite the large profits from the Portuguese spice trade and the enthusiastic support met with by the counter-reform in the Hapsburgs, Philip failed to make Spain a lasting power over time.
The endless wars caused significant problems in his empire, which became particularly apparent. after his death. His exhausting obsession with detail, his inability to prioritize goals, and his insistence on making all decisions personally led to the creation of a labyrinthine bureaucracy.
Despite these problems, his reign cannot be described as a failure. He stabilized the Spanish colonies on the American continent, significantly increased the amount of silver coming from these colonies and defeated the Ottoman navy in the famous Battle of Nafpaktos, a defeat from which the Ottomans would never recover. He managed to unite Spain and Portugal under his crown and successfully faced the crisis that arose in Aragon. His efforts were also instrumental in limiting the spread of Protestantism in Northern Europe.
In 1773 the British parliment passed the Tea Act. The Tea Act was designed to help the East India Company which was in financial trouble. Most tea at this time over 80 per cent was smuggled tea from the Dutch. Parliment allowed the East India Company to import and export tea tax free in England but imposed a tea tax on the colonists. Colonists objected to this new tax as the price of tea went up. One result was the Boston Tea Party where colonists dressed as indians in Boston boarded and English ship and dumped the cargo of tea overboard.

<u>More detail about the Lusitania incident:</u>
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.
A couple years later, however, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare. There was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. Those events in 1917 led the US to declare war on Germany in response.
Here's an an example of American feeling at the time of the Lusitania incident. Gifford Pinchot, who had been the Chief of the US Forestry Service (from 1905 to 1910) , was quoted in the New York Times in May, 1915, after he had just recently returned from Europe. He asserted that Americans on the Lusitania (along with other passengers) were killed because an autocratic military empire was trying to dominate nations that were self-governing. His characterization of German intentions mirrored how President Woodrow Wilson later called on the USA to enter the war to "make the world safe for democracy."
