∙ 9y agoSpain and Portugal did this in the Treaty of Tordesillas. It is worth noting that these two countries did not control most of the world, the division was concerning where each country had the right to set up current and future colonies. Portugal could set up a colony to any point east of the boundary and Spain could set up a colony to any point west of the boundary, but the other power could not set up a colony on the opposite side of the boundary.
