Ferdinand Magellan set out from Spain in 1519, not 1516, to prove that a westward route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) was possible and would be shorter than the eastward route around Africa.

His expedition ultimately succeeded in proving both the feasibility of the westward route and the vastness of the Earth.
