Magellan led the first European expedition to reach the Pacific Ocean.
He found the treasure sought by Spanish explorers, including gold, pearls, and other jewels. Some native Indians were willing to trade for the metal items of the Spaniards. Others were overpowered by the weapons of the conquistadores. While exploring in what is now Panama, Balboa was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean, which opened the way for Spanish settlements on the western coasts of South America and Central America.
Balboa explored South America and Central America, and crossed the Isthmus of Panama. (An isthmus is a narrow piece of land connecting two larger bodies of land.) On the other side, he "discovered" the Pacific Ocean for Europeans. He and his soldiers were the first Europeans to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas.
