Question

Which statements accurately describe portugal’s claim to brazil?

Answer 1

All the answers apply in varying degrees:

- The land that would eventually become Brazil and that was claimed by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral was indeed east of the line of Demarcation drawn at the Treaty of Tordesillas. Thought Portugal did claim more land west of that line later on and Spain tolerated it.

- Indeed. Taking a look at that line of Demarcation does explain why Brazilians Speak a language other than Spanish.

- Although the explorer who claimed Brazil pretended that he was just on his way to India, several historians claim this want a planned landing. Therefore, historians are divided on this particular contention.

If only the most absolutely accurate of the answers can be retained, then answer two is the best candidate.

Answer 2

The correct answers are The explorer who claimed Brazil was able to do so because Brazil lay east of the Line of Demarcation drawn at the Treaty of Tordesillas and A map of South America that shows the 1494 Line of Demarcation explains why the people of Brazil speak a different language from most of the people living in the rest of South America.
