Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who sailed for Spain and discovered the Strait of Magellan. He discovered the Strait in South America and the Philippines in Asia. He died to a poisoned arrow during a tribal clash, in the Philippines.

Magellan set sail in search of a new, westward trade route to the Spice Islands.  If he were to find one, the Spanish would potentially  have a faster route to trade goods back and forth, which would be good for their economy.
His voyage had a positive impact because though he didn’t complete his mission of finding a Westward route to the Spice Islands, he became the first European to cross the Pacific and to discover what is now called the Strait of Magellan.  The Strait of Magellan can be used to cut time off of a voyage to the Pacific for traveling ships in the future.

He was sent by the Spanish to get to the Spice islands and prove that they belonged to Spain   He ended up discovering the Philippines and working to convert people there to Christianity, but was killed by a poisoned arrow in the process. His crew was the first to circumnavigate the globe.

This was a positive for Spain because they had voyaged to more lands  and gained more power and notoriety. His crew also circumnavigated the globe which had never been done before and was a great accomplishment which took place on September 9, 1522, continuing in the adventurous spirit of their dead leader.

One effect of Ferdinand Magellan’s voyage was that once his crew circumnavigated the globe everyone had a sense of how big the world actually was. This was a good thing because it meant that more accurate maps could be drawn and people could better plan on how long their voyages would be.

Another effect was that he discovered the Strait of Magellan which gave people a faster westward route to the Spice Islands than before. This was a good effect because it meant that people could get to the spice islands easier using this making trade more rapid and improving the economy.

One last effect of Magellan’s voyage was that countries could now all use the new route - not just Spain - to get to the islands which increased competition for the resources.  This was a bad thing for Spain because it meant that they didn’t have the ability claim the route as their own and use it only to their advantage.  Other ships were using it to take resources that they wanted.

Countries decide to colonize to gain more land and resources and become more powerful. Countries that didn’t decide to colonize probably didn’t because they simply didn’t want to send anyone out or because they didn’t have enough manpower to take over an area. This had a positive impact for the countries colonizing because they were getting more power resources and other things making them more powerful. It was also a negative impact for the natives of the areas being colonized because the invading countries overpowered them and forced them to be ruled by the country colonizing. Another positive impact was that with more new land as part of the country they could trade more effectively because they would potentially have more ports in the new land.

Translated account of a Genoese mariner named  Fernão de Magalhães who was on the voyage.
The first account by Fernao Magalhaes is a lengthy very factual retelling of the events that took place on Magellan’s voyage. It is in chronological order and describes the voyage in avery physical sense. It is clear that the accomplishment of the voyage is credited to Magellan’s efforts and the crew.

Journal entry by Antonio Pigafetta, who sailed with Magellan and returned to Spain after the voyage.

In the account of Magellanś voyage by Antonio Pigafetta readers are exposed to a very different take on the journey. In addition to laying out what happened and when it happened there is a strong sense that God played a role in the success of the voyage. The spiritual aspect is interesting because it makes sense explorers like Magellan would need to have faith to be brave enough to undertake such journeys.

Magellan’s crew brought back a lot of spices but only 1 ship with eighteen crew members made it back out of the original five ships. They Brought back new knowledge of how to navigate to the spice islands going west. They left behind Ferdinands body with the chief of the natives because he refused to give it back. The natives and explorers had a battle when the explorers landed and Magellan had been killed by the natives during this. Since his body was never recovered it is as if all evidence of Magellan’s existence is gone except for his discoveries.
