notes:
In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed a treaty, known as the Treaty of Tordesillas, agreeing to a demarcation line whereby the pope divided the lands of the new world between the two countries. Only when the Spanish discovered the riches of Mexico was the treaty seen to be so advantageous to Spain.
