Answer/Explanation:
Spain did nothing major to the American colonies, their conflicting territorial interests were forgiven when Spain aided the colonies during the American revolution by suppling weapons, and invading other British colonies (most notably the siege of Gilbraltar. The colonies did do things aginst Britian, but didn’t wage major war earlier due to military constraints. I would be happy to explain the Articles of Confederation and how they relate to US diplomatic relations but you are just saying nonsense. Please ask an actual question so I can answer it, be specific.
Answer:
The first question is an opinion question so there really is no wrong answer as long as you provide reasoning. Personally, I think Philip's failed involvement in the 30 years war was his most significant loss. As a result of the Treaty of Westphalia, Philip II lost possession of the Netherlands as well as demonstrated his inability to keep Spanish lands Catholic. It is also one of the first significant failures that showed the decline of Spain.
As the son of the Holy Roman Emperor Philip II was influenced by the political affairs of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE). Because of his strong ties to the HRE, Philip II was an ally to the Empire and shared many of the same beliefs. Both Philip's involvement in the 30 years war and the Protestant persecution in Spain show strong Catholic ties and allegiance to the HRE (keep in mind that the Pope lived in the HRE and held a lot of sway over the Empire).

It really depends on the specific time period and what kind of tariffs to have an exact answer, but in general the North and West were more pro-tariff, while the South and East opposed them. The Western colonies/states relied heavily on trade with their large plantations of money-crops like tobacco and sugar, and thus saw tariffs as hurting profits from trade. The North did not produce as much crops due to the colder climate and rocky soil, so they saw tariffs as a way to support the national and state governments (After the United States was established). The west similarly did not have as much emphasis on trade, as it was too far from the coast to benefit from trade routes in Europe, thus they sometimes leaned away from being pro-tariff, but not always. There are different kinds of tariffs, from interstate tariffs created after the Revolution, to earlier tariffs with European nations so it's hard to pinpoint an exact answer, but I hope this at least helped.
