 | | Meanwhile, Philip became King of Portugal, and the success of colonisation in America improved his financial position, enabling him to show greater aggression towards his enemies. | | | Henry IV of France was also able to use his propagandists to identify the Catholic faction with a foreign enemy (Philip and Spain), damaging the Catholic cause in France somewhat. | | | This mission marked the height of the respectability of Spain and its sovereign abroad as Philip bore the burden of leading the Counter-Reformation. |
