Spain was the jump starter to European exploration when it funded Columbus's voyage across the Atlantic. Columbus claimed the land for Spain. Portugal, who was Spain's ally, had an agreement with Spain that they'd stay east of a certain line of longitude so Spain could have the Americas and they'd settle for Africa. However, they did not anticipate how close the size and location of the Americas, and this line of longitude runs through South America. This explains why the Portuguese occupied about half of South America, their colony of Brazil.
