No i am a social studies teacher and remember that Magellan went arund the world >>For a social studies teacher, your answer is gramatically, syntaxically, and informationally rather lacking. Magellan did end up claiming quite a few areas for Spain on his voyages, such as the "Spice Islands". However, he is remembered for sailing around the world (although he himself didn't quite make it all the way--he was killed halfway).

The Strait of Magellan is located at the southern end of South America, just north of the Tierra del Fuego. It is a natural passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and was named for Ferdinand Magellan.
The Philippines were discovered and claimed by Ferdinand Magellan (sailing for Spain) in his trip around the world. This proved to be his final destination as Magellan and several of his crew were killed during a revolt there. It was Magellan's surviving crew that eventually made it home, although even then only about 24 were left in the end. Spain later annexed the Philippines as a colony, and it remained that way until annexed by the United States at the end of the Spanish-American War in 1899, and later granted independence in 1948.
Ferdinand Magellan died in 1521 during the Battle of Mactan fighting some rival Filipino groups. He died about 1 year before the last of his ships made it home.
