The box gives "1585" as start date, but contains engagements over 10 years previous to that. Is this not a problem? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 06:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Agreed officially the war started in 1585 but as you mentioned precursor conflicts did take place 10 years before said date but had in fact started as early as 1568. One option is to delete the date altogether in box and leave war link? Shire Lord (talk) 13:46, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Most historians agree that the conditions were very favorable to Spain. In any case, the conditions were certainly not the same as before the war; there was no loss of territory but there were a lot of relevant economic and political changes and compromises, various of which were part of the nation's war goals. I suggest that we write a link to the page of the Treaty of London instead of having "status quo" as the result. It is misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alumno ESL (talk • contribs) 05:22, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
