Portugal's claim to Brazil was because 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.

When the New World was discovered, Portugal and Spain were ahead of the rest of Europe in claiming it and signed the Treaty of Tordesillas to avoid conflict between themselves.

The treaty drew a Line of Demarcation wherein all lands on the east would belong to Portugal and those on the West would belong to Spain.

Those who did not agree to the treaty were:

other European countries like France and Britain who went ahead and established colonies regardless
Native Americans because it was their land

In conclusion, Portugal was able to lay claim to Brazil because Brazil was on the east of the Line of Demarcation.
