Magellan was born in Sabrosa, Portugal, in 1480. He began his career as a sailor at a young age, and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1519, he was commissioned by the King of Spain to lead an expedition to find a westward route to the Spice Islands.
Magellan's expedition set sail from Spain in September 1519. The fleet consisted of five ships: the Trinidad, the San Antonio, the Concepcion, the Victoria, and the Santiago. The expedition sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, and then through the Strait of Magellan, which Magellan named after himself.
The expedition then sailed across the Pacific Ocean, and reached the Philippines in March 1521. Magellan was killed in a battle with the natives of Mactan Island in the Philippines. However, the rest of the expedition continued on, and eventually reached the Spice Islands.
The expedition returned to Spain in September 1522, after a voyage of three years. The Victoria was the only ship to complete the circumnavigation. The expedition had lost more than half of its men, but it had achieved its goal of finding a westward route to the Spice Islands.
Magellan's voyage was a major turning point in human history. It opened up the world's oceans to European exploration and trade, and it led to the establishment of the Spanish Empire in the Americas.
