520 $aDocuments how Columbus's New World discoveries inflamed a conflict between the leaders of Portugal and Spain that was resolved by Pope Alexander VI, who proclaimed territory divisions in the Atlantic that had a profound influence on centuries of history.
520 $aWhen Columbus triumphantly returned from America to Spain in 1493, his discoveries inflamed an already-smouldering conflict between Spain's renowned monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, and Portugal's Joao II. Which nation was to control the world's oceans? To quell the argument, Pope Alexander VI--the notorious Rodrigo Borgia--issued a proclamation laying the foundation for the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, an edict that created an imaginary line in the Atlantic Ocean dividing the entire known (and unknown) world between Spain and Portugal.
