Key Concepts
In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan set out to do what Columbus had not: find a western route to Asia. He sailed around South America through the stormy "Strait of Magellan" and into a calm ocean he named the Pacific .
The voyage was grueling; Magellan was killed in the Philippines. However, one of his five ships, commanded by Juan Sebastián Elcano, returned to Spain in 1522. This was the first successful Circumnavigation of the globe. It proved conclusively that the world was round and much larger than anyone had imagined.
