Answer and Explanation:

Hello. I believe you are referring to Protestant reform. If that is the case I hope the answer below can help you.

Spain did not accept the Protestant reform and considered this as a strong heresy that should be fought not only in Spain, but throughout the world. The king of Spain, Philip invested an immense amount of money in the Spanish Inquisition, which started to be financed by the monarchy to combat any sign of Protestantism and to condemn anyone who converted to it.

In addition, Philip invested in campaigns to conquer territories, as he wanted the entire world to be under the dominion of Spain, which would compel them to be Catholic.
