What gave the Europeans the idea that they had the right to divide up the world amongst themsleves?
There was the concept or idea that they were superior above all others, which at least technologically they were. This is now considered racist thinking, but it is truly what they thought, as conquest had been the pattern of human history and still is.
Often The Bible was used to promote this concept. Maps were drawn showing Europe and North America larger than Africa or South America ( this continued into the 20th century), and it was felt that only they knew what was best. When Columbus landed on Hispaniola. he wrote in the ship's log that the natives he found would make wonderful slaves. This same idea continued into the Southern plantation system with the same reasoning that the Bible recognized slavery and that it had been accepted around the world for thousands of years. The "saving of souls" was also important and though enslaving others and taking their lands, they were spreading their own version of Christianity.
The view of land ownership that the Old World brought to the New World was one that stated that "no one really lived there and there weren't fences so it was free land." To some extent this concept is still around. If our world landed on a new planet to colonize it, some of the same thinking would likely take place.
