Ferdinand Magellan

Causes: desire for new trade routes to Asia, spread of Christianity, thirst for wealth and power.

Effects: colonization and exploitation of indigenous populations, spread of diseases, exchange of goods and ideas between continents.

The Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral is credited with discovering Brazil in 1500 during his voyage to India. He claimed the land for Portugal and initiated the colonization of Brazil.

One famous explorer from Venice was Marco Polo. He traveled to Asia and wrote about his experiences in the book "The Travels of Marco Polo," which introduced Europeans to the riches and cultures of the East.

Pedro Cabral's exploration took place in the early 16th century along the eastern coast of South America, specifically in present-day Brazil. You can find maps of his exploration in historical books, museums, and online resources that focus on early European explorations in the Americas.

Magellan led the first expedition to successfully circumnavigate the globe, proving that the Earth was round and not flat. Despite Magellan's death during the journey, his legacy as a pioneering explorer is significant in the history of maritime exploration.

The main reason the Portuguese and Spanish enslaved Africans in New World colonies was to meet the demand for labor in industries like mining and agriculture. Africans were seen as a ready source of labor due to their physical capability, and the transatlantic slave trade provided a constant supply of enslaved people to support the economic development of the colonies.

Yes, archaeologists often travel to different parts of the world to conduct fieldwork, excavations, and research. This allows them to study various cultures and civilizations, uncover artifacts, and gain a deeper understanding of human history.

Magellan set sail with a fleet of around 270 men spread across five ships when he embarked on his voyage to circumnavigate the globe in 1519.

his favorite color was pink it was stated in his diary.

It took Magellan approximately three years to complete the first circumnavigation of the world.

Ferdinand Magellan's ships were named the Trinidad, San Antonio, Concepción, Victoria, and Santiago. These were the vessels that embarked on the first circumnavigation of the globe, with Magellan as the expedition leader. Despite many challenges and hardships, only the Victoria returned to Spain, completing the historic voyage.

actually his boat was 20 metres long

you just say it lol

Strait of Magellan

The Magellen Straits are situated between the southernmost tip of mainland Chile and Agentina and Tierra del Fuego.

The first world war began in August 1914. It was directly triggered by the assassination of the Austrian archduke, Franz Ferdinand and his wife, on 28th June 1914 by Bosnian revolutionary, Gavrilo Princip.

This event was, however, simply the trigger that set off declarations of war. The actual causes of the war are more complicated and are still debated by historians today.

Alliances
An alliance is an agreement made between two or more countries to give each other help if it is needed. When an alliance is signed, those countries become known as Allies.

A number of alliances had been signed by countries between the years 1879 and 1914. These were important because they meant that some countries had no option but to declare war if one of their allies. declared war first.
Imperialism
Imperialism is when a country takes over new lands or countries and makes them subject to their rule. By 1900 the British Empire extended over five continents and France had control of large areas of Africa. With the rise of industrialism countries needed new markets. The amount of lands 'owned' by Britain and France increased the rivalry with Germany who had entered the scramble to acquire colonies late and only had small areas of Africa.

Militarism
Militarism means that the army and military forces are given a high profile by the government. The growing European divide had led to an arms race between the main countries. The armies of both France and Germany had more than doubled between 1870 and 1914 and there was fierce competition between Britain and Germany for mastery of the seas. The British had introduced the 'Dreadnought', an effective battleship, in 1906. The Germans soon followed suit introducing their own battleships. The German, Von Schlieffen also drew up a plan of action that involved attacking France through Belgium if Russia made an attack on Germany.

Nationalism
Nationalism means being a strong supporter of the rights and interests of one's country. The Congress of Vienna, held after Napoleon's exile to Elba, aimed to sort out problems in Europe. Delegates from Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia (the winning allies) decided upon a new Europe that left both Germany and Italy as divided states. Strong nationalist elements led to the re-unification of Italy in 1861 and Germany in 1871. The settlement at the end of the Franco-Prussian war left France angry at the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany and keen to regain their lost territory. Large areas of both Austria-Hungary and Serbia were home to differing nationalist groups, all of whom wanted freedom from the states in which they lived.

Moroccan Crisis
In 1904 Morocco had been given to France by Britain, but the Moroccans wanted their independence. In 1905, Germany announced her support for Moroccan independence. War was narrowly avoided by a conference which allowed France to retain possession of Morocco. However, in 1911, the Germans were again protesting against French possession of Morocco. Britain supported France and Germany was persuaded to back down for part of French Congo.

Bosnian Crisis
In 1908, Austria-Hungary took over the former Turkish province of Bosnia. This angered Serbians who felt the province should be theirs. Serbia threatened Austria-Hungary with war, Russia, allied to Serbia, mobilised its forces. Germany, allied to Austria-Hungary mobilised its forces and prepared to threaten Russia. War was avoided when Russia backed down. There was, however, war in the Balkans between 1911 and 1912 when the Balkan states drove Turkey out of the area. The states then fought each other over which area should belong to which state. Austria-Hungary then intervened and forced Serbia to give up some of its acquisitions. Tension between Serbia and Austria-Hungary was high.

The first person to circumnavigate the world was Magellan, but he was not a pirate. He was killed in the Philippines, but his ships made it home to England.

On 27 April 1521 at Cebu in the Philippenes.

John Hawkins led the [piratical] "Sea Dogs" who preyed upon Spanish shipping with the blessings of the English .
