7 juin 1494 - June 7, 1494: Treaty of Tordesillas signed
Description:
The Treaty of Tordesillas resolved potential land disputes between Spain and Portugal by confining Spain's colonial conquests to the Americas and Portugal's to Africa and part of Brazil. The fact that Spain had signed away its right to establish colonies in Africa meant that it needed to trade with independent merchants to obtain slaves, which caused Spain to establish the asiento system.Ajouté au bande de temps:
