In 1494, Pope Alexander VI settled a dispute between Portugal and Spain by dividing the world into two parts. The Spanish part and the Portuguese part. This whole thing, at least according to Pope Alexander VI, could be split between Spain and Portugal. At least when it came to so-called unclaimed land. I mean, unclaimed by whom? You know all the American Indians were like, wait, this land is available? In that case, we'll just keep it.
