Ferdinand Magellan's expedition to Asia by way of South America was sponsored by King Charles I of Spain. Magellan sought a westward route to the Spice Islands, which were highly coveted for their valuable spices. The expedition, which began in 1519, was significant as it ultimately led to the first circumnavigation of the Earth, although Magellan himself did not survive the journey.
