Ferdinand Magellan is best known for his expedition that became the first to circumnavigate the globe, but he did not discover new trade routes in the traditional sense. However, he did establish a westward route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) that connected Europe to the lucrative spice trade in Asia. This route significantly impacted global trade by demonstrating the potential for maritime navigation around the Americas to reach Asia. Magellan's journey also highlighted the importance of the Pacific Ocean as a major trade route.
