Ferdinand,Magellan
Portuguese Fernão de Magalhães,
Spanish Fernando de Magallanes or Hernando de
Magallanes, (born 1480, Sabrosa or Porto?,
Portugal—died April 27, 1521, Mactan,
Philippines), Portuguese navigator and explorer who
sailed under the flags of both Portugal (1505–13)
and Spain (1519–21). From Spain he sailed around
South America, discovering the Strait of Magellan,
and across the Pacific. Though he was killed in the
Philippines, one of his ships continued westward to
Spain, accomplishing the first circumnavigation of
Earth. The voyage was successfully terminated by
the Basque navigator JuanSebastián del Cano .

In 1519, Magellan set out with a fleet of five ships
to find a western route to the Spice Islands, which
were located in the East Indies. Magellan's
expedition crossed the Atlantic Ocean and sailed
through South America's Strait of Magellan, which
he discovered and named after himself. The fleet
then crossed the Pacific Ocean, and Magellan
named the islands of the Philippines, where he was
killed in a battle with local natives in 1521.
Despite Magellan's death, one of his ships, the
Victoria, completed the circumnavigation of the
world under the command of Juan Sebastian
Elcano. Magellan's voyage demonstrated that the
world was round, and it opened up new trade
routes that helped to expand European exploration
and colonization.
THE AGE OF EXPLORATION
During 16th century, Spain and Portugal explored the
world's seas and opened worldwide oceanic trade
routes. Large parts of the New World became Spanish
and Portuguese colonies, and white the Portuguese
became the masters of Asia' and Africa's Indian Ocean
trade, the Spanish opened trade across the Pacific
Ocean, linking the Americas with Asia.
THEIR MOTIVATION
 1.The Spice Islands is one of their motivation to have

different spices like nutmeg, mace, cloves silk and other
goods from China and India things not found in Europe
alternative trade route to silk road; go by sea.
Silk Road- is an ancient network of trade routes,

formally established during the Han Dynasty of China.
The European explorer Marco Polo traveled on these
routes and describes them in depth in his famous work.
THEIR MOTIVATION
 2. 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas that wanted to divide
Portugal and Spain.
Treaty of Tordesillas- Spain and Portugal divided

the New World by drawing a line in the Atlantic
Ocean, about 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde
Islands, then controlled by Portugal. All land east of
that line were claimed by Portugal. All lands west
of that line were claimed by Spain.
THEIR MOTIVATION
3. Spain: westward sea route to the Spices with the
proposal of a Portuguese navigator Ferdinand
Magellan.
Spice Island- also known as the Moluccas are a small

group of islands to the north- east of Indonesia. They
were known for being the largest producers of mace,
nutmeg, cloves and pepper in the world.
“The First Voyage around the • These 5 ships were first one
World” was written in one of to circumnavigate around
