Magellan
Magellan
The Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan and the Spanish fleet, proved the world was round. They were the first to circumnavigate around the world and complete the first voyage around the world.
Of Magellan's fleet only Vittoria completed the voyage. Concepcion, Trinidad and Santiago were lost, and San Antonio deserted and turned back.
The Russo-Japanese War ended badly for Russia when it sent its Baltic fleet halfway around the world to fight Japan. The Russians were forced to retreat and were beaten by the Japanese. This happened in 1904 to 1905 and was the first time an Asian country beat a European country in a conflict.
Hardly. It was a convict fleet, containing mostly male and female convicts, marines and some of the latters' wives. The First Fleet was the first shipment of European settlers to Australia. They faced extreme hardships upon their arrival, true pioneers to a land the other side of the world.
