The Line of Demarcation was drawn by Pope Alexander VI (who was pope from 1492 to 1503) to divide the newly disovered lands between Portugal Spain. This line was drawn in 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his maiden voyage to the Americas. Territorial disputes between the two seafaring nations led the Pope to draw the line in the hope that this would lead to peace between the two nations.
