What was Ferdinand Magellan looking for?
From 1519 to 1521, with 5 ships and 241 men, they searched for a western route to the Spice Islands. Ferdinand Magellan was killed in a battle with Philippine natives on April 27th, 1521, and only two of his ships continued to the Spice Islands. The two ships then made separate return voyages, and only one, commanded by Juan Sebastian del Cano, completed the trip back to Spain.Magellan, who was looking for the Spice Islands, failed to find a short route to them, but his voyage contributed greatly to knowledge about the earth.
