Week 23: The Treaty of Tordesillas
About this episode
This episode covers the Treaty of Tordesillas and its historical context, including various events and figures related to it.
This week in history we’ve got an unlucky French astronomer, an absurd religious festival, and a riotous baseball game where beer was ten cents a cup - and we’ve got the history of a treaty that divided the world up between two European imperial powers.
