Brazil was discovered on the exact day of April 22nd, 1500, by a Portuguese colonizer called Pedro Alvares Cabral. The first sight of land for him was a mountain, which he named "Monte Pascoal" or "Paschal Mountain", because it was Easter on that specific day.

The natives here were called "Indians" because they thought they had reached India.
