Pedro Cabral's journey, which began in 1500, aimed primarily to establish a sea route to India for trade, particularly in spices. However, during his voyage, he accidentally discovered Brazil, claiming it for Portugal. This unexpected discovery expanded Portuguese territory and influence in the New World, while also marking the beginning of European interest in Brazil. His expedition ultimately contributed to the establishment of Portuguese colonial interests in South America.
