Which historical facts can be explained by the information on this map?

(A) Eventually, the Dutch controlled the spice trade. (B) Brazilians today speak Portuguese. (C) Canada is divided into English- and French-speaking groups. (D) There is a strong Scandinavian community in North America.Explanation: Brazilians speak Portuguese as a result of the line of demarcation established by the Treaty of Tordesillas (the Pope’s Line through South America) in 1494. The Dutch (A) are not included on the map. Only English voyages (C) to Canada are listed, and therefore they cannot explain French-speaking Canadians. Although the Vikings did land in North America (D), they did not establish a presence.
