| The Spanish Empire reached its height during the reign of Philip II (1556-1598), and Spain’s great Golden Age of art, literature, and learning began under him. However, Philip’s efforts to stamp out Protestantism in Europe, including attempts to conquer England, permanently impaired the financial resources of Spain. | ||||||
