[387] Papal Globalism / 教皇全球主義, 2013
To limit and settle clashes after Christopher Columbus' maiden voyage, the world outside of Europe was divided between the colonial superpowers of Spain and Portugal. Initially, in 1493, a line was drawn by Pope Alexander VI; it cut the world in half along a meridian somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Cape Verde and Hispaniola. This decree was amended with the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, in effect creating Portuguese speaking Brazil to the east of the demarcation. 35 years later, as both Kingdoms reached the Pacific Ocean, a similar line was drawn to define each Kingdom's influence in Asia, known as the Treaty of Zaragoza.
為了降低與解決哥倫布處女航後所產生的糾紛，當時歐洲以外的世界被超級殖民大國西班牙和葡萄牙壟斷並作劃分。一開始，教宗亞歷山大六世在1493年畫下了一條分界線，從佛得角和伊斯帕尼奧拉島之間的大西洋中央，沿著子午線將世界一分為二。該詔令於1494年根據托爾德西里亞斯條約被修訂，也因此在劃界的東邊形成了葡語國家巴西。三十五年後，當兩大勢力抵達太平洋時，再度畫下一條類似的分界線，用來界定兩方在亞洲的勢力範圍，稱為薩拉戈薩條約。
