Pedro Cabral's exploration in 1500 led to the discovery of Brazil, which he claimed for Portugal. His voyage was initially intended to reach India but instead diverted to the Brazilian coast, where he established the first Portuguese colony. This discovery opened up new opportunities for trade and colonization in South America, significantly expanding Portugal's influence in the region. Additionally, Cabral's expedition contributed to the European understanding of the geography of the South Atlantic.
