To say that the Portuguese discovered the Brazil by accident is not only not correct, as its is almost an insult to the Portuguese people. In Vasco da Gama's Voyage to India, after leaving Cape Verde, Vasco sailed out into the Atlantic to follow the more favorable winds to the South of Africa, wich led him to around 400 Nautic Miles of the Brazilian Coast, and it was there that one of his ships left the fleet and unnoficially sailed to explore Brazil. The Tordesilhas Treaty was signed in 1499. Brazil was "oficially" discovered in 1500. Do the Math. The Portuguese had already been in the Caribbean and in North America way before Columbus (wich BTW was Portuguese). So please don't call it an accident. We are very proud of our Explorers :)
