Question

Two examples of explorers who didn’t sail from their birth place

Answer 1

Answer: Christopher Columbus and Fernando Magellan.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (Italy). He ended up in a combination of life circumstances in Portugal and then in Spain. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. He sailed under the banner of the King of Spain. With this discovery, Columbus gained a great deal of popularity in Spanish. Columbus was convinced that he was in the waters of Asia, in fact at the time of his arrival, he was in the Bahamas.

Fernando Magellan was born in Portugal. In the sixteenth century, Portugal introduced big names in the world of seafaring and exploration. Magellan was enthusiastic, and to sail the world, he sought the help of the Portuguese king. After the king rejected his plan, he presented the King of Spain to Charles V. The king enthusiastically accepted him because Portugal was the direct rival of Spain. Thus, in about 1519, Fernando Magellan led the first expedition to sail the world.
