School starts tomorrow and I need to write 4 more essays. And read half a book. I know, I should have done this before. Whatever. I'm dealing

I have to write a DBQ, actually all of the essays are DBQ's, but this one is so hard. I need help, basically I don't understand it at all.

The question is: Within a century of its issuance, the Papal Bull of 1493 no longer provided the model for settling territorial boundary questions. What developments in Europe and North America undermined its force?

I basically have no idea at all, and none of the documents help. The only one even remotely relating to it is the actual Papal Bull, which was just an excerpt and I hardly understood.

Help? Pretty please! :)

No idea on the topic.
But look at the other doccuments for more indirect evidence.

Some of them should be on events in the US/Europe that could have caused the model to change


also, why is your US course starting that early? The earliest dates on the test last year were 1600s

Well, the other documents are basically....nothing. Talking about 'The First Americans', 'Indian Language Groups in 1500' 'Letter of Columbus' 'First Americans at Work' and 'Jamestown in 1607 and 1614' and I can't seem to find anything that would undermine it's force.

The only thing I can really think of is that other countries wanted land too, and if Spain and Portugal split the world, how were they supposed to explore?

And I have no idea. This essay came from Chapter One of my book, which is always background info and stuff.

Look for things pointing to the loss of power of the Catholic church.

OR, they may be looking at the fact that Britain got involved, and they didn't answer to the Catholic church.
