International News: Line Of Demarcation
The Pope has finally come to a decision, he has set the Line of Demarcation in place. By doing so, he is settling the dispute between the Spanish and the Portuguese over the Americas. This dispute has been going on for years now and surprisingly, the Spanish Pope decided to settle the dispute evenly. The Portuguese will have trading and exploration rights to the east of the line, as the Spanish have rights to the left. Before this takes place, the Portuguese and the Spanish must both sign off to the Treaty of Tordesillas. By signing this, they will both be agreeing to the Popes plan of setting up the Line of Demarcation. This will allow economic growth and development because there is less land for them to be focusing on exploring. Overall, the Pope's decision is for the best of both sides, there will be less blood shed and more development because of it.
