- Signed on June 7, 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between Spain and Portugal along a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verdes. This line of demarcation was about halfway between the Cape Verde Islands (already Portuguese) and the islands discovered by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage (claimed for Spain), named in the treaty as Cipangu and Antilia (presumably Cuba and Hispaniola). The lands to the east would belong to Portugal and the lands to the west to Spain. The treaty was ratified by Spain (at the time, the Crowns of Castile and Aragon), and by Portugal. The other side of the world would be divided a few decades later by the April 22, 1529 Treaty of Zaragoa (Saragossa)
