Which of these countries was sea charted in 1500 by the Portuguese maritime explorations?
Explanation
Brazil was sea-charted in 1500 by the Portuguese maritime explorations. The Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral accidentally came across the Brazilian coast while en route to India. He claimed the land for Portugal and created the first comprehensive map of Brazil. This discovery and subsequent charting of Brazil by the Portuguese marked the beginning of their colonization efforts in South America.
