Spain launched several key expeditions to the East, notably those led by Ferdinand Magellan in 1519-1522 and Miguel López de Legazpi in the 1560s. Magellan's expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe, establishing a Spanish route to the Spice Islands, though he was killed in the Philippines. Legazpi's expeditions resulted in the establishment of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, facilitating the lucrative Manila Galleon trade between Asia and the Americas. These expeditions significantly expanded Spain's influence and trade networks in the region.
