In 1956, the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde ( PAIGC ) was organized clandestinely by Amílcar Cabral and Rafael Barbosa.

Amílcar Cabral was assassinated in Conakry in 1973, and party leadership fell to Aristides Pereira, who later became the first president of the Republic of Cape Verde.

As his brother Amílcar Cabral had been assassinated in 1973, Luís Cabral became the first president of independent Guinea-Bissau after independence was granted on September 10, 1974.

Similarly, the repression the authoritarian single-party regime he led imposed on the population and severe food shortages also left marks and, despite having always denied, Luís Cabral was accused of being responsible for the death of a large number of black Guinea-Bissauan soldiers who had fought along with the Portuguese Army against the PAIGC guerrillas during the Portuguese Colonial War.

Pedro Álvares Cabral ( ; c. 1467 or 1468 – c. 1520 ) was a Portuguese nobleman, military commander, navigator and explorer regarded as the discoverer of Brazil.

As the new land was within the Portuguese sphere according to the Treaty of Tordesillas, Cabral claimed it for the Portuguese Crown.

Cabral was later passed over, possibly as a result of a quarrel with Manuel I, when a new fleet was assembled to establish a more robust presence in India.

Historians have long argued whether Cabral was Brazil's discoverer, and whether the discovery was accidental or intentional.

Nevertheless, although he was overshadowed by contemporary explorers, Cabral today is regarded as a major figure of the Age of Discovery.

During an expedition along the Cape of Good Hope ( Diogo may have originally called it the Cape of Storms ) with Pedro Álvares Cabral and his brother, Dias's ship got separated from the main fleet during the crossing of Cape of Good Hope ( his brother's ship was lost during that crossing ).

Pedro Álvares Cabral sailed to India, officially discovering Brazil on the way, to trade for pepper and other spices, negotiating and establishing a factory ( trading post ) at Calicut, where he arrived on 13 September 1500.

On the Asiatic mainland the first trading stations were established by Pedro Álvares Cabral at Cochin and Calicut ( 1501 ); more important were the conquests of Goa ( 1510 ) and Malacca ( 1511 ) by Afonso de Albuquerque, and the acquisition of Diu ( 1535 ) by Martim Afonso de Sousa.

Cabral took vengeance by looting and burning the Arab fleet and then bombarded the city in retaliation for its ruler having failed to explain the unexpected attack.

Thinking that the attack was the result of unauthorized incitement by jealous Arab merchants, Cabral waited 24 hours for an explanation from the ruler of Calicut, but no apology was forthcoming.

The letter from King Manuel I brought by Cabral to the ruler of Calicut, which was translated by the ruler's Arab interpreters, sought the exclusion of Arab traders.

Cabral was outraged by the attack on the factory and seized ten Arab merchant ships anchored in the harbor, killing about six hundred of their crew and confiscating their cargoes before burning the ships.

Donald Reid Cabral, who now found himself at the head of the junta, was unpopular with most of the high-ranking officers in the military for his attempt to cut back on their privileges.

Portuguese survivors of the São Bento ( Saint Benedict ) shipwreck reached the river on June 1, 1554, and one of their company, the aged Fernão Alvares Cabral, drowned while crossing.

He is usually equated with his contemporary and friend João Cabral de Melo Neto for the high technical skill of their poetry.

Cabral trained his lieutenants through various techniques, including mock conversations to provide them with effective communication skills that would aid their efforts to mobilize Guinean tribal chiefs to support the PAIGC.

The Formigas were first discovered by Diogo de Silves and Gonçalo Velho Cabral in 1431, during their journey to Madeira.

At very early ages, Cabral and her siblings had to collect scrap metal and salvage old motor parts with their father that they would then sell to help the family survive.
