Ferdinand Magellan got killed on his journey around the world but still got the credit for traveling around the whole entire world

Actually Ferdinand Magellan was the first person to sail all the way across the world in 1519-1521. then Sir Frances Drake was then wanting to do the same as Magellan so he had went to sail off around the world. Magellan had sailed off with 250 men and 5 ships! it was a long and difficult journey some of his men mutinied or rebelled. he first reached the Philippines were he was killed in a fight with the native people. in September of 1522 18 survivers arrived back at Spain. They were the first people to circumnavigate or sail around the world!
