Ferdinand Magellan is credited for leading the first expedition to successfully circumnavigate the globe, demonstrating that the Earth is round and providing valuable insights into global geography. Although he did not complete the journey himself, as he was killed in the Philippines, his expedition, which began in 1519 and concluded in 1522, significantly advanced European exploration and trade routes. Additionally, Magellan's voyage paved the way for future explorations and the eventual establishment of global maritime empires.
