Question

How did Raleigh’s expeditions affect the relationship between Spain and England?

Answer 1

Sir Raleigh was a British explorer and scholar. He was a strong supporter of colonization in America and he organized three major expeditions there. To settle those expeditions Queen Elizabeth decided to send privateers on raids against the treasure fleets of Spain because they needed to raise money.

Raleigh also fought and supported the Dutch revolution against the Spanish.
