Pedro Álvares Cabral, a Portuguese explorer, is best known for his discovery of Brazil in 1500, which he claimed for Portugal. His expedition also reached parts of the Indian ocean, including the coasts of India, where he established Portuguese trading posts. Although he did not conquer vast regions in the traditional sense, his voyages significantly expanded Portuguese influence in South America and the Indian subcontinent.
