Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Treaty of Tordesillas signed in 1494 divided the newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal. The treaty gave Portugal control of the African sea route and the right to explore and trade in Brazil. However, Spain got the better deal as they received the lion's share of the newly discovered territories, including the land that later became known as America. Therefore, Spain gained the most from the Treaty of Tordesillas.
