fight for and through the government
he was in command of the first voyage around the world
he was the first person is sail the whole world and he discovered that Columbus, Cobott, and himself was not a part of Asia but a unknown country.
Yes i would say he is a positive person in history.
his most notalble accomplishment was as an explorer he commanded the first expedition to circumnavigate the world.
I hope somebody who knows this history better than I will jump in, but depending on how you define voyage Ferdinand Magellan was only on the one famous voyage. For several years before his famous voyage he served on ships and was in a couple of naval battles.
EVERY1 who said a different answer is WRONG! The true answer is Ferdinand Magellan discovered the earth was round. I know this is right because I asked my world history teacher and he said that Ferdinand Magellan and his sailsman crew were the people that discovered this. YOUR WELCOME! :) -Emma
Ferdinand Magellan, who was killed in the Philippines, was the commander of five ships that tried to sail around the world with Spain as their point of origin. Only One of the five ships completed the circumnavigation of the globe. Ferdinand Magellan is credited as the person who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Earth is oval shaped by leading, (most of the way), a bunch of ships around the world.
Magellan found a shortcut through South America called the strait of Magellan.
Magellan gained his death. He was killed in the Philippines and his crew sailed for 2 more years to get back to Spain. In history he gained the historical fact of being the first man to circumvent the world.
Ferdinand Magellan was killed by the indigenous Chamorro people during his expedition in the Philippines, specifically on the island of Mactan. The local chieftain, Lapu-Lapu, led the resistance against Magellan's forces on April 27, 1521.
