Philip attempted to improve his dynasty's powerbase by alternating alliances with whom?

  • English and French

  • Spanish and Portuguese

  • Dutch and Germans

  • None of the above

Answer

Philip II of Spain attempted to improve his dynasty's powerbase by alternating alliances with the English and the French. This strategy was designed to keep both sides off balance and to prevent either one from gaining too much power. However, it was not always successful, and Philip often found himself caught in the middle of conflicts between the two countries.
