What did other European powers say when Portugal and Spain signed the Treaty of Tordesillas?

Question

In 1494, Portugal and Castile (succeeded by Spain) divided all lands outside Europe, including the newly "on-discovering" Americas, between them signing the Treaty of Tordesillas. What were the biggest and well-organized European powers at that moment? We know now that this Treaty was not followed by England (and Great Britain), The Netherlands, France, among others. I would like to know what these or other powers said at the time of this deal. Did they send letters of reproval? Did their political/military/citizens make sarcastic remarks since Portugal and Spain were being too greedy?

Answer 1

I suspect that only Spain and Portugal honored or even cared about the treaty. England especially was too bent on getting Spain's New World wealth to be concerned with it. Spain's future before Columbus discovered the New World just two years prior did not look very bright in Europe. With that discovery, her fortune and future did a one-eighty! England was hardly taken seriously. France, Austro-Hungary, and Italy were the dominant European powers in what was then the Holy Roman Empire.
