Five hundred years ago, Ferdinand Magellan began a historic journey to circumnavigate the globe. Simple, right? Not really— the explorer and his voyage are a study in contradiction. Magellan was Portuguese, but sailed on behalf of Spain. He was a formidable captain, but his crew hated him. His expedition was the first to sail around the world, but he didn’t end up circling the globe himself. His name wasn’t even Magellan.

Like Columbus before him, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan proposed reaching Asia and the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, by sailing west from Europe.

Nonetheless, it’s clear that Ferdinand Magellan’s 1519 expedition changed the world forever. His journey was “the greatest sea voyage ever undertaken, and the most significant,” says historian Laurence Bergreen, author of Over the Edge of the World: Magellan’s Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe. “That’s not hyperbole.”
Brutal, bellicose, and brave, Magellan turned a commercial voyage into a hair-raising showdown with a wide world few Europeans could imagine. At the beginning of his journey, his contemporaries suspected it was impossible to sail around the entire globe—and feared that everything from sea monsters to killer fogs awaited anyone foolhardy enough to try. “It sounded suicidal to do this,” says Bergreen.
The Portuguese nobleman was born Fernão de Magalhães around 1480. As a page to queen consort Eleanor and Manuel I, he experienced court life in Lisbon. But the young man had a sense of adventure, and took part in a string of Portuguese voyages designed to discover and seize lucrative spice routes in Africa and India.
At the time, Portugal and Spain were involved in an intense rivalry to see who could find and claim new territory where they could source the spices coveted by European aristocrats. In 1505, Magellan joined the fight, traveling to India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. But his days in service to Portugal were numbered: He was accused of illegal trading and fell out with Manuel I, who turned down his proposal to locate a new spice route. Magellan was convinced that by sailing west instead of east and going through a rumored strait through South America, he could map a new route to Indonesia and India. So he abandoned his Portuguese loyalty and headed to Spain, where he gained both citizenship and Charles V’s blessing for a five-ship journey westward.
The captain stood to gain great wealth and status from the trip: Charles gave him a decade-long monopoly on any route he might discover, a cut of the profits, and a noble title to boot. But he was in an awkward position when it came to his majority-Spanish crew and his royal mission. “The Castilians resented sailing under a Portuguese commander and the Portuguese considered him a traitor,” writes historian Lincoln Paine.

After their conquest of Mexico, they decided to continue their settlement of the Philippines through the expeditions of Garcia Jofre Loaisa (1525), Sebastian Cabot (1526), Alvaro de Saavedra (1527), Rudy Lopez de Villalobos (1542) and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi (1564).
Introduction
The most spectacular change during the Renaissance which shaped the course of history was the opening of the world to Eureopean shipping
Propelled by "Gospel, Gold , and Glory", and supported by much-improved technology - new types of shipe, sailing charts and maps, navigational instruments, gunpowder, and superior high-powered arms - the two Iberian superpowers of Spain and Portugal pushed through their ultimate goals to discover the rest of the world
West Meets East
The inclusion of Asian trade to that of Europe led not only to the flow od economic products and the wealth of Asia to European societies but also to the dynamic interaction of cultures
Merchants become important in the eyes of the people, and they not only became richer but also powerful in the more famous trading cities of Italy
The Lusitanian--Historic Rivalry in Maritime Discoveries
Portugal was the first country to use innovation in seamanship and boatbuilding with the establishment by Henry "the Navigator" of the first navigational school in the globe at Sagres Point in 1419
In 1451-1470, the Portuguese discovered and colonized all the islands of the Azores in the Atlantic which they used to stage the discovery of the Americs and the circumnavigation of the west coast of Africa
In 1500s, portugal's two intrepid explorers had reached the southermost end of Africa, and later, India, thus, winning the race of the wealth and spices of the East
Spain had the earlier dispatched the first truly momentous exploration in modern times
Inspires by the Florentine map maker Paolo Toscanelli to discover westward sea route to India, Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo) instead made a landfall in Guanahani (earlier identified as San Salvador but in 1986 as Samana Cay) Island in October 1492, and two weeks later, on the coast of Cuba
Columbus' voyage generated misapprehension and dispute between Spain and Portugal; King John (João) of Portugal protested on the ground that ot was incursion by Spain of his sphere of influence
Spanish pope from Valencia issued in May 1493, the inter caetera and the Eximinae Devotionis, giving Spain the right over any lands new-discovered by Columbus equivalent to the Portuguese territories found along the western coast of Africa
The perceptive portuguese, realizing the Spanish pope's bias, did not agree to the established demarcation line
In 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed which partitioned the non-Christian world into spheres of influence.
It was followed by the papal bull of 1493 granting the New World to spain, while Africa and India were reserved only for Portugal.
The treaty shifted the demarcation line 370 leagues farther west, thus assigning Brazil to Portugal
The Magellan (Magalhães) Expedition (1518-1521)
This slide deck comprises the second part of a two-part study on the history of Christianity. It is one of a series of basic studies on the Bible and other topics of interest to Christians intended to help leaders of a Bible study or Sunday School class who are too busy to research and prepare as well as they would like for their task. The entire “Lessons-to-Go” series is engaging, colorful and challenging and is ready to go even at the last moment.
On 10 August 1519, five ships departed from Seville for what was to become the first circumnavigation of the globe. Linked by fame to the name of its captain, Magellan, much of the expedition is known through the travelogue of one of the few crew members who returned to Spain, Antonio Pigafetta. A narrative and cartographic record of the journey (including 23 hand-drawn watercolour charts) from Patagonia to Indonesia, from the Philippines to the Cape of Good Hope, Pigafetta's The First Voyage around the World is a classic of discovery and exploration literature.
This volume is based on the critical edition by Antonio Canova. It includes an extensive introduction to the work and generous annotations by Theodore J. Cachey Jr who discusses the marvelous elements of the story through allusions to Magellan's travels made by writers as diverse as Shakespeare and Gabriel García Márquez. However, Cachey is careful to point out that Pigafetta's book is far from just a marvel-filled travel narrative. The First Voyage around the World is also a remarkably accurate ethnographic and geographical account of the circumnavigation, and one that has earned its reputation among modern historiographers and students of the early contacts between Europe and the East Indies. Expertly presented and handsomely illustrated, this edition of Pigafetta's classic travelogue is sure to enlighten new readers and invigorate the imagination as the story has done since it first appeared.
2. 15th and 16th centuries brought an era of worldwide exploration and expansion that resulted from the desire to gain new lands, power, and wealth for the explorers and their countries.
22. On March 16, 1521, Magellan’s fleet arrived at Samar and named it the Islas de San Lazaro (Island of St. Lazarus).
23. Confusion on the site of the first mass. There are two contending views as to where the site of the first mass in the archipelago transpired, one claims it was Limasawa (Leyte), and another Masao (Butuan).
24. LimasawaMasaoSupported by the National Historical Institute (NHI)Presented by Dr. Sonia ZaideBased on Carlo Amoretti’s evidence stating that Mazaua and Limasawa are one and the same.Zaide presented arguments such as all primary sources such as that of Pigafetta mentions Mazaua. LImasawa has 54 syllables and begins with another letter; the inconsistencies in the distance as mentioned in all primary sources; the presence of balanghai in Butuan, a vessel used by kings during that time; and the congruence with the description form primary sources that the place was rich in gold.Supported by Pablo Pastells, T. H. Pardo de Tavera, Jayme de Veyra and James RobertsonAttested by Mafra accounts. Gines de Mafra was the only person who has reached Mazaua twice.Supported by William Henry Scott and and attested by the chronicle of Gian Batista Ramusio.
25. When Magellan landed on Sugbu (Cebu) he made blood compact with Humabon after the Magellan won his trust and friendship. Magellan taught Humabon and the Cebuanos the Christian teaching about honoring one’s parent.
26. Although Magellan was accepted by Humabon and some other Cebuano leaders, Lapu-lapu another chieftain of Mactan refused to accept the new political system and pay tribute.
27. Lapu-lapu’s refusal led to the Battle of Mactan, where Magellan and his troops were defeated by the formers troops.
28. The Battle of Mactan was a scandalous defeat for the Spaniards for they were not able to prove themselves better in combats.
29. Of his 3 ships, only Victoria was able to return back to Spain, after continuing its voyage to Moluccas. The ship was captained by Sebastian del Cano.
30. The voyage around the world lasted for 2 years, 11 months, and 16 days.
31. The voyage enhanced their knowledge about the existence of other islands in the Pacific and the Philippines. It also confirmed that the earth is round and that it is really possible to sail around the world since the world’s oceans are connected.
32. Some contentions that Enrique de Malaca circumnavigated the world first ahead of del Cano.
34. After the Spain had celebrated Elcano’s return, King Charles I decided that Spain should conquer the Philippines. Five subsequent expeditions were then sent to the Islands. Spanish Expeditions after MagellanLoaysa’s Expedition (1525)The first post-Magellan expedition composed of 7 ships and 450 men. The expedition failed to reach the Philippines.Cabot’s Expedition (1526)Composed of 4 ships and 250 men. Led by Sebastian Cabot. They failed to find the Strait of Magellan.The Saavedra Expedition (1527)Composed of 3 ships and 110 men, among its objective was to investigate what had happened to the two earlier expeditions and rescue any survivors if there are any.The Villalobos Expedition (1543)Composed of 6 ships and around 400 men. He followed the route taken by Magellan and reached Mindanao on February 2, 1543. He established a colony in Sarangani but could not stay long because of insufficient food supply. His fleet left the island and landed on Tidore in the Moluccas, where they were captured by the Portuguese.Villalobos is remembered for naming our country Islas Filipinas, in honor of King Charles’ son, Prince Philip, who later became king of Spain.The Legazpi Expedition (1564)The fleet consisted of 4 ships and 380 men. On February 13, 1565, Legaspi's expedition landed in Cebu island. After a short struggle with the natives, he proceeded to Leyte, then to Camiguin and to Bohol. There Legaspi made a blood compact with the chieftain, Datu Sikatuna as a sign of friendship. Legaspi was able to obtain spices and gold in Bohol due to his friendship with Sikatuna. On April 27, 1565, Legaspi returned to Cebu; destroyed the town of Raja Tupas and establish a settlement. On orders of the King Philip II, 2,100 men arrived from Mexico. They built the the port of Fuerza de San Pedro which became the Spanish trading outpost and stronghold for the region.His successful conquest was the start of the colonization of the archipelago for more than three centuries.<br />
