De acordo com Jackson e Blythe, a ideia de que o Brasil foi descoberto por acaso é um folclore que precisa ser desconstruído. Em 1500, Portugal era a maior potência tecnológica de navegação e o 'achamento' do território foi, na verdade, a execução de um projeto geopolítico muito bem amarrado. O diálogo sugere que a frota não apenas errou o caminho para as Índias, mas seguiu um plano estratégico previamente estabelecido pela coroa portuguesa.
O Tratado de Tordesilhas, assinado seis anos antes da chegada de Cabral, funcionou como um 'spoiler' histórico. Jackson explica que Portugal e Espanha já haviam dividido o planeta, o que prova que os portugueses já sabiam da existência de terras no Ocidente. Esse acordo garantiu o território brasileiro para Portugal antes mesmo da expedição oficial, consolidando o que Blythe descreve como uma verdadeira intriga política digna de série.
O rei da França, Francisco I, ficou indignado com a exclusividade ibérica sobre as novas terras. Blythe menciona que ele questionou ironicamente onde estava a 'cláusula do testamento de Adão' que dividia o mundo apenas entre Portugal e Espanha. Essa reação demonstra a tensão diplomática e a resistência de outras potências europeias diante do domínio das navegações portuguesas e espanholas durante o período colonial.
Sim, Jackson afirma que, no cenário de 1500, Portugal ocupava o posto de maior potência tecnológica de navegação do mundo. Esse avanço técnico permitiu que o país coordenasse viagens complexas e participasse de negociações geopolíticas de alto nível, como o Tratado de Tordesilhas. Esse contexto reforça a tese de que a chegada ao Brasil não foi um erro de percurso, mas sim uma ação planejada por especialistas em mares.
