Treaty of Tordesillas

Japanese: トルデシーリャス条約 - トルデシーリャスじょうやく
Treaty of Tordesillas
A treaty signed in Tordesillas, Spain in 1494 between Spain and Portugal. It divided the spheres of influence of the two countries to avoid territorial disputes overseas. The border was a meridian (near 45° west longitude) that passed 370 leagues (1 league is about 5.6 km) west of the Cape Verde Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, and the eastern side was Portugal's new territory, while the western side was Spain's new territory. As a result, Portugal expanded into Brazil and the eastern parts of Africa and Asia, while Spain expanded into the Americas. However, the border in the eastern hemisphere was uncertain, and later a dispute arose between the two countries over the ownership of the Maluku Islands. Therefore, the Treaty of Zaragoza was signed in 1529, and the border was set as a meridian (near 144° 30' east longitude) that passed 297.5 leagues east of the Maluku Islands.

Japanese:
1494年,スペインとポルトガルがスペインのトルデシーリャスTordesillasで締結した条約。海外での領土紛争を避けるため,両国の勢力範囲を区分したもの。大西洋上のベルデ岬諸島の西方370レグア(1レグアは約5.6km)を通る子午線(西経45°付近)を境に,東側をポルトガル,西側をスペインの新領土取得範囲とした。これによりポルトガルはブラジルおよびそれ以東のアフリカ,アジアに,スペインはアメリカ大陸に進出。しかしその東半球における境界線は不確定だったため,後にモルッカ諸島の領有をめぐり両国間に紛争が起きた。そこで1529年サラゴサ条約を結び,モルッカ諸島の東方297.5レグアを通る子午線(東経144°30′付近)を境界線と定めた。
