What 2 European nations had a head start in exploration of the world and what conflicts resulted because of this fact?
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.

When the Europeans explored the Americas, it was both good and bad. The good side is that they found new crops such as corn, squash, tabacco, the cocoa bean, etc. Europe was expanding and taking land in what is now Mexico, Cental America, and South America. The bad thing was for the natives already living there. Diseases, such as smallpox, swept through the population of about two million natives, killing most of them off. The natives were also traded as slaves into Europe. The Incan and Aztec empires were completely destroyed. They did have clubs and spears, but explorers had swords, armor, horses, and guns.
