The Treaty of Tordesillas, issued on June 7, 1494, was an agreement Spain and Portugal made with each other to settle disagreements over areas of land which Christopher Columbus, as well as other explorers of the 15th-century, explored. It was basically a document that settled the decision of who gets which land areas.
