Impact of Ferdinand Magellan
Seeking riches and personal glory, Magellan’s
daring and ambitious voyage around the world
provided the Europeans with far more than
just spices.
Although the trip westward from Europe to the
east via the Strait of Magellan had been
discovered and mapped, the journey was too
long and dangerous to become a practical
route to the Spice Islands. Nevertheless,
European geographic knowledge was expanded
immeasurably by Magellan’s expedition.
He found not only a massive ocean, hitherto
unknown to Europeans, but he also discovered
that the earth was much larger than
previously thought.
Finally, although it was no longer believed
that the earth was flat at this stage in history,
Magellan’s circumnavigation of the globe
empirically discredited the medieval theory
conclusively.
Proving a point and showing facts are true
and unavoidable experience where in Magellan
gave his best to prove a point that take him to
one great voyage that took 200 plus crew with
people that they take or capture had made a
big impact in the expedition that at the end of
journey he did not make it but for his crew
( ship went to Spain) had continued the
mission to prove a point.
the journey takes a big risk that not knowing
the outcome of going forward to a uncertain
places that take some of the lives of the crew
until misunderstanding came in place that
became tragic.
The discovery of two straight line that leads to
southeast and southwest are the big factors
for them to go back to Spain.
Along their way they see an opening strait the
river of sardines until the wide spread of
disease that took some of the lives to the point
that they survive and write their journey that
proving earth is not flat, that when you go
west u met east along the way so in other
words the earth is round.
Additional Thought:
The expedition reached the Philippines. To the
crew’s surprise, Enrique, an enslaved man
Magellan had purchased before the journey,
could understand, and speak the indigenous
people’s language. It turned out he was likely
raised there before his enslavement, making
him, not Magellan, the first person to
circumnavigate the globe.
Although Magellan did not live to complete the
journey, his crew continued and eventually
became the first to circumnavigate the Earth.
Magellan's voyage was a major milestone in
the Age of Exploration and contributed greatly
to our understanding of the world's geography.
Overall, Ferdinand Magellan was a daring and
ambitious explorer whose legacy continues to
be celebrated today.
