Portugal Sails East As the 1400s continued, the Portuguese sailed/mapped further and further east.  Bartholomeu Dias (1488) rounded the southern tip of Africa  Vasco da Gama (1497) followed around the Cape and sailed to Calicut in western India.

Spain Enters the Game Christopher Columbus (Gerona) convinced Spain to finance the venture  The crown wanted wealth and prestige after expelling some of its most affluent citizens.  3 August 1492 Columbus sailed with the Nina (Caravel) Pinta (Caravel) and Santa Maria (Carrack)

Catholics Divide the World in Half Pope Alexander VI answered the plea from Ferdinand and Isabella to support their claim to the New World.  The Pope created a Line of Demarcation and west of it was Spain’s while east of it is Portugal.  Later confirmed at the Treaty of Tordesillas that was signed between 1494 Note this pushed all of the other sea power nations to rapidly build their own fleets to challenge Iberia.
