Line 16:
The lands to the east would belong to Portugal and the lands to the west to Castile. The treaty was signed by Castile, {{nowrap|2 July 1494}} and by Portugal, {{nowrap|5 September 1494}}. The other side of the world would be divided a few decades later by the [[Treaty of Zaragoza]] or Saragossa, signed on {{nowrap|22 April 1529}}, which specified the [[#Antimeridian: Moluccas and Treaty of Zaragoza|antimeridian]] to the line of demarcation specified in the Treaty of Tordesillas. Originals of both treaties are kept at the [[Archivo General de Indias]] in Spain and at the [[Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo]] in Portugal.<ref>Davenport, 85, 171.</ref>
This treaty worked fairly well as between Spain and Portugal, despite considerable ignorance as to the geography of the New World, but it omitted all of the other European powers. Those countries generally ignored the treaty, particularly those that became Protestant after the [[Reformation]].
