Treaty of Tordesillas
Historical Overview
Through this landmark agreement, the maritime powers of Portugal and Spain divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between themselves. The demarcation line, sanctioned by the Pope, ran west of the Cape Verde Islands: all territories east of this line were allocated to Portugal, later securing its claim to Brazil, while lands to the west fell to Spain.
