The Tordesillas Treaty. The treaty was signed as an agreement between the Spanish and the Portuguese monarchs. The Treaty was signed to avoid the unwanted confusion between Spain and the Portugal on the claim of the land in the New World. In 1493, Christopher Columbus returned to Spain.He narrated the stories about his voyage to Pope Alexander VI, a Spanish by birth.Understanding the need to divide the New World lands between Spain and Portugal he issued a  Papal Decree  (Papal Bull).he Treaty of Tordesillas was signed as a mutual agreement between Spain and Portugal to propagate their quest for explorations in the New World and also to enhance their trade activities.
The lands to the east would belong to Portugal and the lands to the west to Castile. The treaty was signed by Spain, 2 July 1494 and by Portugal, 5 September 1494.The other side of the world would be divided a few decades later by the Treaty of Zaragoza or Saragossa, signed on 22 April 1529, which specified the antimeridian to the line of demarcation specified in the Treaty of Tordesillas.riginals of both treaties are kept at the Archivo General de Indias in Spain and at the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo in Portugal. This treaty worked fairly well as between Spain and Portugal, despite considerable ignorance as to the geography of the New World, but it omitted all of the other European powers.
