So, like, the Treaty of Tordesillas was this thing that happened in 1494, you know? It was between Spain and Portugal, and they were fighting over lands they discovered. The treaty said that Spain could explore and claim any new lands west of this imaginary line, called the Tordesillas line, while Portugal got all the east side. It was like a way to divide up the new world and keep everyone happy-ish.
