Vasco Núñez de Balboa's voyage, which led him to the discovery of the Pacific Ocean in 1513, resulted in significant historical impact. He became the first European to see the Pacific from the New World, claiming it and its surrounding territories for Spain. However, his later downfall came when he faced political rivalries, leading to his arrest and execution in 1519. Despite this, his expedition opened up new routes for exploration and colonization.
