Answer 1

Spain and Portugal divided most of the "New World" between them.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Western Hemisphere (mostly referred to Americas) is called as New World. After the discovery of America by Spanish explorer Christoper Columbus in 1492, the European Countries started to sail to America. At that time, Spain and Portugal were the two superpowers.

In 1494, the New World territory was separated by the Treaty of Tordesillas. They divided the land by drawing a line on the map in the Atlantic ocean that cuts through Eastern Brazil. With the line as the center, all East lands were contented by Portugal and  West lands were contented by Spain.
