Descobrimento do Brasil, 22 de abril de 1500. (Demo)

Descobrimento do Brasil refere-se, na historiografia lusobrasileira, à chegada da frota comandada por Pedro Álvares Cabral ao território denominado Ilha de Vera Cruz (terras que hoje compõem o território do Brasil), ocorrida no dia 22 de abril de 1500. Tal descoberta faz parte dos descobrimentos portugueses.[1][2]

Embora quase exclusivamente utilizado em relação à viagem de Pedro Álvares Cabral, o termo “descoberta do Brasil” pode também aplicar-se à chegada da expedição do navegador e explorador espanhol Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, que atingiu o cabo de Santo Agostinho, promontório localizado no atual estado de Pernambuco, em 26 de janeiro de 1500. Trata-se da mais antiga viagem comprovada ao território brasileiro.
