Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese sailor, set out to circumnavigate the world on the tenth of August in 1519. The crew along with the ship left from Seville in southern Spain and the crew members were from several nations, such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Germany, England and France. Magellan was an explorer and helped organize the Spanish expedition, which he undertook for the Spanish monarchy, which was supposed to end up in the East Indies (which is now southern and south-eastern Asia).

(Opposition to Columbus's plans was based on the belief that the world was LARGER than he thought, and the voyage too far to make safely. In fact, his CRITICS were correct about the earth's size!)
