Ferdinand Magellan aimed to prove that there was a westward route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) by circumnavigating the globe. He sought to demonstrate that it was possible to reach Asia by sailing west from Europe, thus challenging existing navigational beliefs. Additionally, he intended to establish Spain’s claim to the lucrative spice trade and enhance its influence in the region. Magellan's expedition ultimately aimed to expand geographical knowledge and assert Spanish dominance in global exploration.
