While Brazil was inhabited by various native tribes at the time, when Portuguese explorer Pedro Alvarez Cabral landed there in 1500, he claimed the territory for Portugal. Portuguese is the official language of Brazil.
He died in 1520, because of natural causes, while having a journey
Pedro Alvarez Cabral died in 1520, but the exact cause of his death is not entirely clear. Some sources suggest he may have been killed in an attack by indigenous peoples in Brazil, while others propose that he died of illness or natural causes. Ultimately, the specific details of his death remain uncertain.
Pedro Alvares Cabral and I imagine the rest of the sea explorers had no idea how big of a continent the americas were. You know the Colombus thought he'd found India when he reached the americas. Cabral, it is widely accepted was not the discoverer of Brazil, as the portuguese had known that this territory existed by accident while trapped in a corrent and let some ships to those shores. Cabral returned to Brazil about 2 years later to check it out, and it turned out to be a gold mine. But the portuguese sights were on reaching India by sea to get a hold of all those spices and silks. That was a pretty great accident, right?
Pedro Alvares Cabral was searching for a trade route to India when a tempest blew him to Brazil in South America. He explored for a while, established a colony, and then continued on the India.
Ferdinand Magellan claimed South America for Portugal.
Pedro supported Benedick in his love for Hero.
