3. Antonio Pigafetta is a
famous traveller born in Vicenza
around 1490 and died in the
same city in 1534, who is also
known by the name of Antonio
Lombrado or Francisco Antonio
Pigafetta. The account of
Pigafetta is the single most
important source about the
voyage of circumnavigation,
despite its tendency to include
fabulous details.

4. Ferdinand Magellan (1480-
1521), the commander of the
first ships to attempt to sail
around the world. Magellan is a
Portuguese navigator and was
born in Portugal in 1480. In
1517, he went to Spain to see
the teenaged Spanish king, the
future Holy Roman Emperor
Charles V. He sought and
gained support for the first
voyage around the world.

5. In 1519, by then Spanish, Magellan set
out from Spain in command of a fleet of five
ships. His aim was to sail around the
southern tip of South America, even though it
was then not known if there was such route.
From there he aimed to make his first ever
journey across the Pacific Ocean to the
tremendously lucrative Spice Islands, before
completing his journey around the world by
returning to Spain.

6. The Age of Exploration
During 16th century, Spain and Portugal
explored the world’s seas and opened
worldwide oceanic trade routes. Large parts of
the New World became Spanish and
Portuguese colonies, and white the Portuguese
became the masters of Asia’ and Africa’s Indian
Ocean trade, the Spanish opened trade across
the Pacific Ocean, linking the Americas with
Asia.

7. Their Motivation
1. The Spice Islands is one of their motivation to
have different spices like nutmeg, mace,
cloves silk and other goods from China and
India things not found in Europe alternative
trade route to silk road; go by sea.
7
Silk Road- is an ancient network of trade routes,
formally established during the Han Dynasty of
China. The European explorer Marco Polo
traveled on these routes and describes them in
depth in his famous work.
8. Their Motivation
2. 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas that wanted to
divide Portugal and Spain.
8
Treaty of Tordesillas- Spain and Portugal
divided the New World by drawing a line in
the Atlantic Ocean, about 370 leagues west
of the Cape Verde Islands, then controlled by
Portugal. All land east of that line were
claimed by Portugal. All lands west of that
line were claimed by Spain.
10. Their Motivation
3. Spain: westward sea route to the Spices with
the proposal of a Portuguese navigator
Ferdinand Magellan.
10
Spice Island- also known as the Moluccas
are a small group of islands to the north-
east of Indonesia. They were known for
being the largest producers of mace,
nutmeg, cloves and pepper in the world.
