What was the significance of the Treaty of Tordesillas?

It provided Portugal with the opportunity to establish colonies in the Americas.

It established the line of demarcation that granted Spain the right to lands in the Americas and Portugal the right to settle in Africa.

It ended the Seven Years’ War between Spain and Portugal and allowed for the Portuguese settlement of Brazil.

It promoted the idea that the Catholic religion would be allowed to establish missions in the Americas.

I was pretty sure it was B but apparently it's wrong. What else could it be?

For future primavera students, two things... may God have mercy on your soul and the correct answer is "It provided Portugal with the opportunity to establish colonies in the Americas."

Make sure you check your grammar before turning it in ;)

The correct answer is actually B, which you initially mentioned. The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, established a line of demarcation that granted Spain the right to claim lands in the Americas to the west of the line and Portugal the right to settle lands to the east of the line, including Africa. This significant agreement aimed to settle disputes between Spain and Portugal over newly discovered territories during the Age of Exploration. It effectively divided the newly discovered lands between the two countries and became a basis for future European colonization in the Americas.

If you are being told that answer B is incorrect, it could be due to a mistake or error. The Treaty of Tordesillas is widely recognized for its role in establishing the colonial boundaries and shaping the history of European colonization in the Americas and Africa.

They still speak Portuguese in Brazil.

Gotcha

Darn, it wasn't right. I don't understand, the others don't seem correct either.
