No. He hit modern day America and went south around South America, then over to Australia.
He went through the waterway currently known as The Straight of Magellan at the south coast of Argentina.
The term America is traditionally used to mean the United States or at least North America. By this definition Ferdinand Magellan did not come to America. He did come by South America and his purpose was to find a westward route from Spain to Asia.
Ferdinand Magellan's ship crew were the first to sail all the way around around the world. Ferdinand himself died before the voyage was completed.
he went from England to western washington
He went by South America to across Pacific Ocen to the Philipines and died their,but the rest of the crew that survived went around the Cape of Good Hope, Afrinext then tthey went back to Europe where they started out. When something goes completely around the world that is called circumnavigate(tion). Hope this helps! :)
Ferdinand Magellan's slave, Enrique. Enrique was brought to Europe from the Philippines and became Magellan's slave. he went on the voyage around the world with them, and when Magellan died in the Philippines after going around South America, Enrique jumped ship and swam to an island in the Philippines, roughly the same place he lived before he was a slave. However, people think that Magellan was the first, even though he died before they made it, because he led the voyage.
He went around the world.
he went to the first voyage around the world
He never was in South America
he went because of the spice
From Spain, Magellan went west. He did not finish his journey because he died in the Philippines.
