is it b?
"a" doesn't sound like an accurate answer.
No, it is not option B.
The correct answer is option D: It was the first time in world history that two European nations sought a third party to mediate a dispute regarding foreign lands.
The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, was an agreement between Spain and Portugal, facilitated by the Catholic Church, to divide the newly discovered lands outside of Europe. Both countries wanted to claim territories discovered in the New World, specifically in the Americas. Pope Alexander VI mediated the dispute and drew a north-south imaginary line on a map, known as the Line of Demarcation. This line divided the newly discovered lands into separate spheres of influence for Spain and Portugal. Spain gained control over most of the Americas, while Portugal was granted rights to territories such as modern-day Brazil.
So, in summary, the Treaty of Tordesillas was significant because it was the first time in history that two European nations sought a third party (the Catholic Church) to mediate a dispute over foreign lands.
