Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Spain wished to surpress the Netherlands because of the large number of Protestants living there!. He sent an inquisition to sort them out!. After a period of time, William of Orange and other Dutch rebelled against Spanish rule (Spain and the Netherlands were owned by the Habspurg dynasty)

Spanish fury is a term to describe what happened in Antwerp during the Dutch War for Independance (which lasted 80 years)!. The Spanish brutally ravaged Antwerp after a lenghty siege!. they called tht destruction Spanish FuryWww@QuestionHome@Com
