Ferdinand Magellan is primarily known for his one significant expedition, which was the first to circumnavigate the globe. He embarked on this voyage in 1519 under the Spanish flag, seeking a westward route to the Spice Islands. Although he had previously participated in earlier expeditions to the East Indies, it was this final journey that defined his legacy. Magellan did not survive the entire expedition, as he was killed in the Philippines in 1521.
What did Magellan seek to prove when he set out from Spain in 1516?
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. He aimed to establish a direct trade route to the lucrative spice markets of Asia. Additionally, Magellan sought to demonstrate that the Earth was round by circumnavigating it, thus providing tangible evidence of his theories about global geography. His expedition ultimately succeeded in proving both the feasibility of the westward route and the vastness of the Earth.

What did Ferdinand Magellan look for?
== == Ferdinand Magellan was looking for a faster route to the Spice Islands (East India or South East Asia) for the Spanish crown. Spices were highly prized in Europe and a lot of money could be made by importing them. So a fast, safe route was much desired. The existing route, that traveled down Africa and around the Cape of Good Hope, was very long and extremely dangerous. But more specifically he was searching and hoping to find a passage through the newly discovered continent, that would connect the two oceans Atlantic and Indian, because he was not aware that there was the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the new continent. Finally he found his passage, the straits of Magellan, but it was not what he expected, because he had to go all the way down to the southernmost region of the continent. Therefore, the trip was even longer and more difficult than the existing route to the Indian ocean. But nonetheless he discovered a new ocean. ------------ Ferdinand Magellan started in Spain and ended in Philippines. He wanted to go to the Spice Islands. He thought the journey was short but it wasn't it was 3 years. He was wrong it took the Armada de Molucca 98 grueling days to cross the pacific ocean. The ships did not contain enough food and water for the voyage and most of the crew fell ill and died from scurvy and starvation. Magellan ran into the Philippines they killed Magellan.
