Best Answer

The Northwest Passage was a passage Europeans were looking for that connected the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer who first realized that the Americas were not part of Asia; the Americas are named after his feminized first name. Ferdinand Magellan found the Strait of Magellan but was killed in the Philippines while assisting natives conquer a rival tribe. Fortunately, a portion of his crew made it back home. They were the first to circumnavigate the globe.
