Answer 1

Pedro Alvares Cabarel was the Portuguese navigator who is credited as the first European to reach Brazil

Explanation:

• The King of Portugal decided to create trading ports for Portugal in Asian countries, three years after Vasco da Gama's great voyage. To lead this expedition, he selected Pedro Cabral. Cabral was also entrusted with the propagation of Catholicism, in addition to developing trade ties in India.
• On 9 March 1500, Pedro Cabral sailed from Lisbon. He had 13 fleets and 1,200 men, including Bartolomeo Dias, a well known explorer. One of the vessels was commanded by Dias. The Canary Islands and the Cape Verde islands offshore Africa passed by Cabral and his fleet. Shortly thereafter, one of the ships of Cabral was missing and presumed to have sunk. Cabral followed the same path that Vasco da Gama took to India through Africa.
• He mistakenly, though, traveled to the Atlantic Ocean too far southwest. This incident took him to a foreign nation unknown to the people of Europe and to the South American Coast. This is not India, Cabral realized. In Porto Seguro, on the coast of today's Bahia state, he and his fleet made a anchor. They went to the sea, constructing a large wooden cross, which he used to claim the land in the name of Portugal. He felt he landed on an island and today we know this nation as Brazil.
• The Portuguese colonized the region many years after Cabral. The exportation of wood, especially Brazilwood tree, gained great value. It's a tropical tree, which produces a very common bright red colour. It was also a good, solid wood used for furnishing and in the construction of ships. In 1503, the name "Brazil" became common and identified with this tree of Brazilwood tree
• Cabarel was honoured for a number of postage stamps, one of which is issued in Brazil on the 400th anniversary of its discovery on 1 January 1900. In the 1 cent coin and a special version of the R$10 too Cabarel has been depicted.
