Seriously academic! The first of its kind! Provides a detailed description of treaties, political arrangements, Papal Bulls, the impact of events and interlopers relating to the political division of Australia and the Eastern Hemisphere from the period of the Renaissance Popes until the emergence of the Holy Alliance and political reorganisation of Europe.

The Line of Demarcation was one specific line drawn along a meridian in the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 to divide new lands claimed by Portugal from those of Spain. This line was drawn in 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his maiden voyage to the Americas.
