The imaginary line was the Line of Demarcation drawn according to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494. It was designed to prevent Spain and Portugal from claiming the same regions and establishing competing colonies in the world, notably the New World. The line was a line of longitude around 42.5° W, about midway between the Portuguese colony in the Cape Verde Islands and the new Spanish possessions in Hispaniola and the Caribbean. The line effectively limited Portugal to a major colony in Brazil, the only modern South American country that extends east of the line.
