Using as a springboard the historical events that eventually led to the European, in this case Portuguese, "discovery" of Brazil. this work delves into the more complex question triggered by this occurrence, or rather, whether the Portuguese knew beforehand of the existence of land west/southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, or if they actually stumbled upon Brazil in April 1500.
