A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that
line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519. Magellan set
sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search
of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South
America. Finally they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees Slatitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All
Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan.
3. The Pope divided New World lands between Spain and Portugal according to their location on one side or the other of an
imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends in a
direction.
