 Treaty of Tordesillas
In principle the treaty followed the papal bull issued in 1493 by Pope Alexander VI, which fixed the demarcation line along a circle passing 100 leagues W of the Cape Verde Islands and through the two poles.
At the time that the treaty was negotiated, only a very small area of the New World had actually been explored.
As the Portuguese presence in Brazil increased, the boundary line defined by the Treaty was generally ignored by Portuguese explorers and settlers, who eventually extended Portuguese territory to include all of modern-day Brazil (almost half of the South American continent).

The result was the TREATY OF TORDESILLAS (1494), a treaty in which Spain and Portugal divided the world outside christian Europe into a Portuguese hemisphere, which included the west coast of Africa, already surveyed by Bartolomeo Diaz and others, and a Spanish hemisphere including the Caribbean islands discovered by Columbus.

The treaty assigned huge spheres to both nations, which, for the most part, were uncharted territories for both of them.

 WHKMLA : Era of Discovery, Treaty of Tordesillas
However, there were disputes over the borders; in the early 1500s, Portugal claimed Newfoundland (which according to the Tordesillas agreement was located in the Spanish sector); the Spanish attempted to take hold of the Moluccas which according to the Treaty of Zaragoza was Portuguese.
However, the Spanish did not pursue political ambitions (except for the Chinese and Japanese markets, and for the Philippines, for which they negotiated Portuguese consent, as it was located within the Portuguese sphere) and the Portuguese did not pursue political interests within the Spanish sphere of interest.
England, France and the Dutch Republic regarded the Treaties of Tordesillas and Zaragoza as illegitimate, not because the Spanish and Portuguese had partitioned lands that did not belong to them, but because they were excluded.

Some long dormant neuron fired and the Treaty of Tordesillas was invoked as a possible exemplar.
A few years later, figuring that the world was likely far larger than earlier estimates, continued this imaginary line through the poles and to the “anti-meridian” which effectively gave Spain an entire hemisphere, but assured Portugal's claim over the East Indies.
For the most part Spain and Portugal honored this Treaty for the rest of their explorations in the new world, and people in Brazil speak Portuguese today due to the placement of a line through a continent that the line drawers had no idea existed.
