Portugal's claims in the Americas were limited because the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 divided the newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal, with Portugal receiving rights to territories east of a specific meridian. This limited Portugal's ability to establish colonies in certain regions of the Americas claimed by Spain.
