Spain controlled territory west of the line, while Portugal controlled territory east of the line. The line was moved 800 miles further west with the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 a year later.In short The Line OF Demarcation, divided the non-European world into two trading and exploration zones one for Spain and one for Portugal. The two nations agreed to these terms in the Treaty of Tordesillas.the line of democration is an imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic from the North Pole to the South Pole.
There are many such lines, they are called lines of longitude.
The imaginary line was the Line of Demarcation drawn according to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494. It was designed to prevent Spain and Portugal from claiming the same regions and establishing competing colonies in the world, notably the New World. The line was a line of longitude around 42.5° W, about midway between the Portuguese colony in the Cape Verde Islands and the new Spanish possessions in Hispaniola and the Caribbean. The line effectively limited Portugal to a major colony in Brazil, the only modern South American country that extends east of the line.
The Line of Demarcation was drawn by Pope Alexander VI (who was pope from 1492 to 1503) to divide the newly disovered lands between Portugal Spain. This line was drawn in 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his maiden voyage to the Americas. Territorial disputes between the two seafaring nations led the Pope to draw the line in the hope that this would lead to peace between the two nations.
