	Treaty of Tordesillas (European-American history, 1494)

Note: The Treaty of Versailles was the agreement between Spain and Portugal regarding territory conflicts after the Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus claimed the New World alongside other explorers. Before the treaty, pope Alexander VI created a demarcation line: Spain had rights to newly discovered lands to the West of the line, while Portugal had rights to the East. The treaty altered the location of the demarcation line, which allowed Portugal to claim the coast of Brazil, discovered by Pedro Álvares Cabral. Pope Julius II sanctioned the treaty in 1506.
