What country did Ferdinand Magellan explorer?

Ferdinand Magellan explored South America, Cebu, East Indies, Mactan, Philipines, and Guam. The dates of his explorations were from 1519 to 1522. Magellan died in the Philippines during the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Only one of his ships successfully returned to Spain, carrying 18 men of the original 237 that left Spain.


Where did Ferdinand Magellan sail?

Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) was a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition that sailed around the Earth (1519-1522). Magellan also named the Pacific Ocean (the name means that it is a calm, peaceful ocean).


Who was the leader after Ferdinand Magellan died?

The Philippines as a country did not exist. The Philippine archipelago was divided into many different tribes. The island of Cebu was divided into many smaller tribes and each tribe had their own share of land. During Magellan's arrival to the Philippines he was only a visitor. Magellan landed on the area where Rajah Humabon was the leader. Lapu Lapu was the leader of an area from Mactan Island. The concept of unification as one country came from the Spaniards. That is why the Philippines is named after King Philip of Spain, it was because of his decision to colonize the Philippine archipelago that the Philippines came to be governed under one state. That state was the Colony of the Spanish East Indies, it consisted of the Philippines, Guam and the Marianas Islands. The capital was Cebu, then Manila. This was under the Spanish Empire.


What route did Ferdinand Magellan's ships take to circumnavigate the globe?

Magellan didn't make it the whole way himself, but his ships sailed down the east coast of South America and through the Strait of Magellan (named after him), through the Pacific, the Marianas and Guam, and on to the Philippines, which is where Magellan died. Elcano, in the only ship that survived the entire voyage, traded in the Spice Islands (Maluku), went through the Indian ocean, came around the cape of Good Hope, and then west and north back to Spain. The ship that tried to go back through the Pacific route was captured and wrecked.


What places did Magellan explore?

Ferdinand Magellan almost made it all the way around the world, and is credited with being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean, which he named. The Straits of Magellan, just south of Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, are named for him. While he was in that vicinity, he and his crew spotted a new bird, thought at first to be a different type of goose that had to be skinned, rather than plucked - it was a penguin- now named the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) in his honor.Ferdinand Magellan is credited as making the first successful circumnavigation of the world.Actually, Magellan himself did not complete the sail around the world. He started in Spain, but was killed in what is now the Philippines before the voyage was completed.Nevertheless, Magellan had sailed east of the Philippines on an earlier voyage, so he was one of the first two individuals to have traveled all the way around the earth.The other individual was Magellan's indentured servant, Enrique, a native of Malacca. There is some dispute as to whether Magellan or Enrique was actually the first to sail around the world. The exact place of Enrique's birth is not known with certainty, nor is the exact time at which he returned to his place of birth. (He departed from Magellan's fleet during a battle, which he may have incited himself, and so there was no communication between Enrique and the survivors of Magellan's fleet after his departure.)
