Detailed explanation-1: -(Gilder Lehrman Collection) The Papal Bull “Inter Caetera, ” issued by Pope Alexander VI on May 4, 1493, played a central role in the Spanish conquest of the New World. The document supported Spain’s strategy to ensure its exclusive right to the lands discovered by Columbus the previous year.
Detailed explanation-2: -The papal bull annulling Magna Carta was issued by Pope Innocent III (1161–1216) on 24 August 1215.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pope Alexander VI issues a papal bull or decree, “Inter Caetera, ” in which he authorizes Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and its Native peoples as subjects. The decree asserts the rights of Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert, and enslave. It also justifies the enslavement of Africans.
Detailed explanation-4: -This papal bull legally granted Portugal the right to enslave any and all people they encounter south of Cape Bojador, on the coast of Western Sahara. About midway through the bull, the Pope declares all Sub-Saharan Africans henceforth be held in perpetual slavery.
