European Powers dividing the
New World
Review- What European countries lead
the Age of Exploration?
Treaty of Tordesillas was an agreement
between Spain and Portugal to clear up
any confusion about newly claimed land
in the New World
Treaty of Tordesillas
Imaginary line running North-South through MidAtlantic 100 leagues West of Cape Verde Islands
Portugal realizes the
boundary isn’t fair
• The Treaty of Tordesillas was signed
and agreed upon before Portugal
realizes how much land is west of the
boundary line. They request a
renegotiation.
New boundary
formed
•
The imaginary boundary line is then
pushed 370 leagues west of the Cape
Verde Islands.
• What area of South America is then
included into Portuguese territory?
Spain begins colonizing its New World
Territories
• Time Period: 1550s
• Queen Isabella declares Native
Americans (AKA at the time Indians) her
subjects

native populations by granting Spanish
settlers in the Americas encomienda.

use Native Americans as laborers

with the encomienda system?

plantations and in the gold and silver
mines.
