Both Spain and Portugal wanted to protect their claims and they turned to pope Alexander VI for help. In 1493 he drew a line of demarcation, an imaginary line, down the middle of the world north and south to the poles and all the land west was controlled by Spain and the land east was controlled by porugal. Porugal compained that the favor was in Spain so they moved the line west and that is how they divided the unexplored world
