Explanation:

• First question:
• England supported piracy (English privateers like Francis Drake raided Spanish ships).
• England supported the Dutch Rebellion (against Spanish rule).
• Elizabeth I (Protestant) executed Mary I (Catholic, seen as a threat by Catholic Philip II).
• England did not start to establish colonies in Mexico (Spain had strong control in Mexico, and England focused more on North - America).
• Second question:

• The influx of silver made some merchants rich through trade but hurt the common people.
• Spain faced economic problems and was bankrupt by 1598.
