It gave Portugal a lot of land in South America. After the line was set Portugal argued that it was unfair so the line was moved so that Portugal fully got Brazil. That is why Brazil's prime language is Portuguese! :)
Portugal's history, is basically the exact same as Spain. For Portugal and Spain have mirroring histories. Portugal, was part of the Roman Empire. Part of the ancient Roman province of Hispania which was the entire Iberian Peninsula. Then, Portugal became a seperate Roman province known as Lusitania. Muslim forces, known was the Moors then conquered what is now Portugal and Spain. After the Muslims were driven out, Portugal became a country. The Portuguese language, orginated from the same language as Spanish, the Latin language. The Portuguese language, also has origins from Spain, from the Galician language, which turned into Galician-Portuguese. Portugal and Spain, became colonial powers during the Age of Imperialism. Portugal owned, territories in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. Both empires signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, which gave western South America to Spain and east South America to Portugal. So Brazilians speak Portuguese, as the national language. Think of Portugal, basically like Spain without the Spanish language. For Portuguese and Spanish people are basically, sister ethnicities. The only real difference is that the Portuguese government today is a demoratic, and Spain's government is a monarchy. Both countries have their own languages.
Portugal was limited by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) which gave Spain the right to colonize most of the Americas. The exception was Brazil, the easternmost part of South America. Portugal, however, also conducted trade, conquest, and piracy in India by sailing around Africa.
The official language of Brazil is Portuguese. Brazil is the largest country in South America so therefore many South Americans speak Portuguese. The line of demarcation
The Portuguese Empire spread across the world, and many modern-day nations have gained independence from Portugal. The most significant and well known previous Portuguese colony was Brazil, which was also the most influenced by Portugal. However, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Timor-Leste are also major countries that have been influenced by Portuguese culture, mainly in urban areas. Portugal claimed nearly the entire coast of Africa and a significant portion of the coast of India at one point as well. However, they were overtaken, and their influence in these regions remain minimal.

Brasil was the only Portuguese colony because the Treaty of Tordesillas.
Brazil is South America's only Portuguese-speaking nation. The Federative Republic of Brazil owes widespread communication in Portuguese, not Spanish, to its discovery and settlement by explorers from Portugal, not Spain. The Treaty of Tordesillas June 7, 1494, recognized newly discovered lands to the east of a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands off western coastal Africa as belonging to Portugal and to the west as belonging to the Crown of Castile.
The early political claims of European Imperialists on the America involved Papal intervention and mediation. Pope Alexander VI wrote the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) demarcating South America between the Spanish and Portuguese Empires.
The Portuguese colonized Brazil, the only part of South America east of the Line of Demarcation drawn by the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494. Colonies in the remainder of South America, west of the Line, were granted by the treaty to the Spanish.
