Yeah, but who got Greenland?
This is a whole discussion (and a big generalisation), but Portugal got the best part of it ahahah gotta love our Spanish brothers, nuestros hermanos and the Pope of that time for approving this.
I don’t know how many times I have said it, but I’ll say it again: it did not divide the World or even the New World, it was an agreement on who can do what where.
They drew a line, and agreed that the king of Portugal had no business to its West, and the Catholic Monarchs had no business to its East.
Think of it like those mob movies where two gangs or families agree to something like “South of Main Street is our business, and North of it is your business”. That doesn’t mean third parties cannot try carve a piece for themselves, as the agreement only binds the two signatories
That’s when my fucking Brazil start being the fucking country it is until now.
And then Spain took Philippines.
The British Empire entered the chat: say division?
Portugal W
Why does no one understand that the fuck this treaty said ffs. You can literally read it online and there are translations.
