Spinola's campaign was launched by the Spanish crown in 1605 as a response to Maurice of Nassau's territorial expansion within the Habsburg Netherlands during his ten years campaign. During this campaign, Spanish forces commanded by Ambrogio Spinola successfully conquered cities along the Rhine and advanced into the eastern provinces of the Dutch Republic.
