[edit] Summary
Description |
The map depicts the first known European explorations in the seas around Australia, which took place between 1501 and 1600 AD. The broken green-yellow line marks the border between the Portuguese (west of the line) and Spanish (east of the line) spheres of interest as fixed by Portugal and Spain in the Treaty of Zaragoza 1529 AD. Portugese expeditions are coloured light green, Spanish yellow. The areas unknown to the Europeans at the end of that time are shaded. Their borders and the tracks are only approximate.
