Magellan
Yes one of his rivals were Amerigo Vespucci,Vasco Núñez de Balboa and Ferdinand Magellan
Balboa discovered the pacific in 1501. Magellan discovered the phillipeans!
The explorations of Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco Núñez de Balboa, and Ferdinand Magellan significantly expanded European understanding of the New World and the world's geography. Vespucci's voyages helped distinguish the Americas as separate continents, leading to their naming after him. Balboa was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas, establishing a crucial link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Magellan's expedition achieved the first circumnavigation of the Earth, demonstrating the vastness of the globe and providing valuable information about global trade routes.
Magellan name d the Pacific Ocean.
Magellan was convinced to trust Balboa's instinct to sail west to reach Asia due to the prevailing belief that a westward route would be shorter and more direct than existing eastern routes. Balboa's earlier exploration and discovery of the Pacific Ocean provided credible evidence that there was a vast body of water that could potentially lead to Asia. Additionally, the promise of wealth and trade opportunities in the Spice Islands further motivated Magellan to pursue this uncharted path. Ultimately, Balboa's insights aligned with Magellan's ambitions for exploration and commerce.
Columbus, Balboa, Magellan, Vespucci. Columbus famously reached the Americas in 1492, Balboa was the first European to sight the Pacific Ocean in 1513, Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world from 1519 to 1522, and Vespucci explored the eastern coast of South America in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
