>>49818428Anon I'm an Alberto Barbosa, I know how the story goes. The Strait of Magellan is all the way down South, you have to circle all around the Americas to get past. Columbus thought there was nothing there and could just sail through.
In fact it's theorized that the portuguese already knew something was there, given that we both rejected sponsoring Columbus' campaign, and a few years later in the Tordesillas Treaty we moved the separating line a couple hundred miles west from the original world-splitting one, so we "coincidentially" kept what is now Brazil on our side of the world, years before we set foot in it
>Tordesillas Treaty?Treaty between Portugal and Spain in the late 15th century that set a longitudinal line in the world. Any land discovered west of the line belonged to Spain, and east of it to Portugal.
