What were Philip II's Policies towards the Dutch and are the Netherlands the Dutch?

Question

I have a writing intensive question in my History class every week, and I am learning about the Developement of the Eropean State System. I have to try to figure out the answer to this question: In his policies towards the Duch, was Philip II moved more by the religious or the political aspects of his disagreement with the Netherlands? I also don't understand if the Netherlands were of Dutch land or not. Help!

Answer 1

Yes, the Dutch live in the Netherlands.
