Video - Brazil: The Accidental Discovery That Changed History!

Did you know that the discovery of Brazil was basically a happy accident? In 1500, Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral was supposed to be sailing to India but took a slight detour. Talk about a wrong turn! He ended up bumping into the coast of Brazil instead. Imagine the surprise! The crew thought they had found an island and named it "Ilha de Vera Cruz," meaning the Island of the True Cross. Spoiler alert: it wasn't an island. The Portuguese quickly realized they had stumbled upon a massive new land, and this "oops" moment led to centuries of colonization. Who knew a navigational blunder could change history? Have you ever had an accident that turned out great? Let me know in the comments!
