Why were the Moluccan Islands so important to the Portuguese?
The Moluccan Islands were the source of the lucrative spice trade. The trade traced back to ancient times, with dominant trading partners being the ancient Romans and the ancient Chinese. With the rise of Islam in the seventh century, its control ended up in the hands of Muslim traders and middlemen.
Starting in the thirteenth century, European distribution and terms of trade fell under the increasingly unpopular control of Venice, Italy. For the Venetians controlled the Mediterranean access to such critical trading ports as Alexandria, Egypt. The Venetians and the Muslims were able to set up trading arrangements that were highly profitable for them, and very costly to such European countries as Portugal.
Such a situation of high costs and complete absence of bargaining power served as motivation to the Portuguese to find a sea route around Africa, through the Indian Ocean, and on to India and Indonesia. For the Moluccan Islands of the Indonesian archipelago were the sole source of such highly prized spices as clove, mace, and nutmeg. In this way, the Portuguese were able to set more favorable terms and exercise direct control over the prized commodities.

In 1492-93 when explorers discovered The New World, they had no idea how far west that the end of land extended. It could have been 20 miles, 50 miles, or thousands of miles for all they knew. And NO one dreamed just HOW big this "New World" actually was! In 1494, the two countries agreed to move the "line" meridian to 370 leagues (1 nautical league equals 3.45234 miles, so 370 leagues is about 1277.37 miles). But South America, the land they both wanted, went much further west. Portugal settled Brazil. But Spain got all the rest. So Spain benefited the most.
