Cevap
A Spanish empire focused on territorial control in the Americas and a Portuguese empire focused on trading posts in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) drew an imaginary line of demarcation, granting Spain rights to lands west of the line (the Americas) and Portugal rights to lands east of the line (Africa and India). This division directly shaped how both maritime empires were established: Spain went on to claim vast territorial domains in the Americas, while Portugal established a series of fortified trading posts (feitorias) along the African and Asian coasts to dominate Indian Ocean trade.
