Answer 1

The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, was an agreement between Spain and Portugal aimed at dividing newly discovered lands outside Europe, establishing a meridian for territorial claims. This treaty allowed Spain to claim most of the Americas, while Portugal received rights to territories in Africa and Asia, significantly shaping colonial expansion. Despite its intention to minimize conflict over exploration, the treaty did not consider the indigenous populations and often led to disputes and further treaties as European powers continued to explore and claim new territories.
