Description:
A popular survey of the events which lead to the 1493 papal bull and the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas, which drew an imaginary line in the Atlantic dividing the newly discovered New World between Spain and Portugal. Bown explores the tensions between Ferdinand and Isabella and Joao II which lay behind these proclamations and the lasting effects they were to have on world history.
