On June 7, 1494, the governments of Spain and Portugal agreed to the Treaty of Tordesillas, named for the city in Spain in which it was created. The Treaty of Tordesillas neatly divided the “New World” of the Americas between the two superpowers.

Spain and Portugal divided the New World by drawing a line in the Atlantic Ocean, about 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands, then controlled by Portugal. All lands east of that line (about 46 degrees, 37 minutes West) were claimed by Portugal. All lands west of that line were claimed by Spain.

Spain and Portugal adhered to the treaty without major conflict, and the results linger throughout the Americas today. Most Latin American nations are Spanish-speaking countries, for instance, but Portuguese is the leading official language in Brazil. This is because the eastern tip of Brazil penetrates the line agreed to in the Treaty of Tordesillas, so the region was colonized by Portugal.

The treaty ignored any future claims of the British and French, the other European superpowers of the time. The British, French, and Russian empires did not claim parts of the Americas for years after the Treaty of Tordesillas.

Most importantly, however, the Treaty of Tordesillas, completely ignored the millions of people already living in established communities in the Americas. The treaty stipulated that any lands with a “Christian king” would not be colonized. Christianity had not spread to the Americas, and the resulting colonization proved disastrous for indigenous cultures such as the Inca, Taino, Aztec, Tupi, and thousands of other bands throughout the Americas.

Answer:

The Oslo Accords happened most recently, in 1993.

Explanation:

The Oslo Agreements are a collection of agreements between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli Government. The Oslo I Accord was signed in Washington, D.C. in 1993 and the Oslo II Treaty in Taba, Egypt in 1995. These agreements were the start of the process known as the 'Oslo Process' which was an attempt to reach peace and to give Palestinians the right to self-determination. The secret negotiations between the two sides, which gave the name to the accords, began in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The outcome of this negotiation was recognition of the State of Israel by the PLO and recognition of the PLO by the State of Israel. Both parties were considered partners during the negotiations.

The Oslo Negotiations gave way to the Palestinian National Authority, which is responsible for the autonomy of parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The accords, however, did not create the State of Palestine.
