Pedro Álvares Cabral sailed west for Portugal and is credited with the discovery of Brazil in 1500. While on a voyage to India, his fleet encountered the Brazilian coast, leading to the Portuguese claiming the territory. Cabral's expedition marked the beginning of Portuguese colonization in Brazil, which would later become a significant part of the Portuguese Empire.
