{{Short description|Site of landing of Portuguese colonists}}{{Unreferenced stub|auto=yes|date=December 2009}}(File:Oscar Pereira da Silva - Desembarque de Pedro Ãlvares Cabral em Porto Seguro em 1500.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Romantic depiction of the first landing of Pedro Ãlvares Cabral in 1500.)Ilha de Vera Cruz ({{IPA-pt|ËiÊÉ dÊi ËvÉÉ¾É Ëkɾu(j)s}}) (Portuguese for Island of the True Cross) was the first name given by the Portuguese navigators to the northeast coast of what later became Brazil. The name was later changed to Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross).When the Portuguese fleet, under Pedro Ãlvares Cabral, first officially touched land in South America on April 22, 1500, they thought they had found an island, as reflected in the chosen name. They took possession for the Kingdom of Portugal of what was believed to be an island of strategic importance on a western connection between Portugal and the Moluccas and other islands of the East Indies. This discovery marked the beginning of Portuguese colonization in South America. The name was changed to Terra de Santa Cruz when it was realized that it was not an island, but in fact part of a continent.In 1534, the colonies of Terra de Santa Cruz became the Captaincies of Brazil, land grants to Portuguese captains General by King John III of Portugal.{{Brazil-hist-stub}}- the content below is remote from Wikipedia
