Pope Alexander VI settled the Treaty of Tordesillas, which was a Treaty signed between Spain and Portugal and settled conflicts over lands newly discovered by Christopher Columbus and other explorers. The first line of demarcation was done in 1493 and the second one moved 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands. This new boundary was settled because Portugal wanted to claim the coast of Brazil and start its exploration.
