Ferdinand Magellan was searching for a westward route to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) in present-day Indonesia. He aimed to establish a more direct trade route for valuable spices, which were highly sought after in Europe. His expedition, which began in 1519, ultimately led to the first circumnavigation of the Earth, demonstrating the vastness of the globe and the interconnectedness of different regions.
