To What extent was England dominated by the fear of Spain and the serving of Spanish interests When considering whether England served Spanish interests it is important to remember that England and Spain shared common interests primarily in security and religious causes. However the view of Historians on whether we were fearful of them and therefore dominated by them is split. While it is true that this may have been Phillips intention as can be seen by the pressure to attack FRANCE? And his influence over the massive expanditure of the Navy ultimately England only acted when it served their own interests so coupled with the fact the marriage treaty was favourable to England if anything Spain served Englands interest.

However, not all dynastic marriages worked in Henry VII’s favour, some directly threatening England’s security.

If the colonists were allowed their civil rights associated with Parliament then they would have never broken their allegiance to the crown. Although the bond between the two was severely damaged, it could have been mended. The colonists would have looked towards England for guidance on the newly formed country. By allowing the colonists to enjoy the sanctuary of liberty then they would be more obedient and England would still have the sovereign authority of the country and reap the rewards associated with
Without those Enlightenment ideals it would’ve been believed that it was fine for the British to continue what they were doing. Thus the need to implement the ideals was the reason for the Revolution; no Enlightenment, no American Revolution.
