Ah, isn't that fascinating? There was an explorer named Christopher Columbus who claimed land for both Spain and Portugal during his voyages to the Americas. It's incredible how explorers like him played a role in shaping the world we live in today. Just like a painter creating a beautiful landscape, explorers leave their mark on history with their discoveries.
Spain was the first European nation to claim land in the Americas. Christopher Columbus, sailing under the Spanish flag, reached the islands of the Caribbean in 1492, marking the beginning of Spanish colonization in the New World. Following Columbus, Spain established settlements and claimed vast territories throughout Central and South America.

The United Kingdom and Russia were the countries with the two largest empires in the world, meaning the most claimed land. However, Spain and the United Kingdom could be tied because the two countries both claimed all of the Americas (of course these claims were unrealistic and not recognized).

Spain and Russia
Spain and Portugal were the two European countries that once claimed land in the southern regions of the Americas. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 divided newly discovered lands outside Europe between the two nations, with Spain gaining most of South America and Portugal acquiring Brazil. This division significantly influenced the colonial landscape of the continent.
Countries that claimed land along the Pacific coast include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Australia.
They asked the pope(Alexander VI) and he decided that the world( the know world at the time) was to be split by an imaginary line. This line was a little bit west from the eastern tip of Brazil. Portugal got the eastern half of this line and Spain the western half.
