What happened to the Duke of Alba's military campaign in the Dutch Revolt?

  • Quick victory

  • Stalemate

  • Defeat by Dutch

  • Failed to suppress

Answer

Failed to suppress: Despite initial successes, the Duke of Alba's military campaign in the Dutch Revolt ultimately failed to quell the rebellion. His heavy-handed tactics, including the imposition of the "Council of Troubles," alienated the local population and spurred further resistance. Additionally, the Dutch rebels received significant support from Protestant powers such as England, making it difficult for Alba to achieve a decisive victory.
