    You should've mention that the Spanish captain Juan Sebastian Elcano was the real hero of the circumnavigation of the world, Magellan completed only half way around the globe because he was killed in the Philippines. Elcano took command of the only ship left "the Victoria" and returned to Spain with a small crew of sailors in 1522.

      "the real hero"? there would have been no expedition to begin with if it wasn't for Magellan as he was the visionary behind the entire venture. also, it was Magellan who crushed the mutiny off the coast of Argentina that would have ended the expedition. not saying it was easy for Elcano, but he mostly used existing Portuguese shipping lanes to get back to Europe were as Ferdinand led his men into uncharted waters never seen by Europeans at that time and named the Pacific ocean.. and don't forget, most of the nautical miles were sailed under Magellan's command. so you're gravely incorrect saying "Magellan completed only half way around the globe"

      ​@@bconni2 Lots of lies from portugeese. Magellan never wanted to circumnavigate but to go to the malucas by going around the already discovered new world AND COME BACK THE SAME WAY TO AVOID PORTUGESE WARSHIPS in the Indian Ocean.
      Spain going to the Indian Ocean could be a suicide mission and failure he declared.
      He already knew there was an ocean on the other side of the new world as discovered 7 years before by the Spanish Explorer Vasco Nunez De Balboa when he crossed the Panama isthmo in 1512.
      Portugese navy in Indian Ocean would capture him, trial him as a spy and traitor now sailing for spain, their rival.. AND HANG HIM. And steal the ships too.
      IT WAS DELCANO WHO DECIDED not to go back the big pacific ocean way and take the risk of circumnavigating instead but he decided to navigate south of navigation routes of portugeese. It worked.
      MAGELLAN WAS A LIAR AND A MURDERER OF GOOD CAPTAINS that demanded right navigation rules in Argentina. He lied again when he declared the 2 Spanish captains as mutiny. Big dam liiar then ordered the portugeese in his ships to attack and kill them. You were lied and fooled by the dirty portugeese..

Also the ancients Greeks know about them and their gods name Zeus Jupiter Minerva and Athens the goddess of war were the names of the monarchs of Atlantic. India all the Americas from Alaska to Argentina were civilizations the Spaniards destroy so much history of ancient Mexico Azteca Maya’s who has acknowledged of astronomy’s and farms and use gold for ornaments the most that cause the conquest. The Spaniards were Catholics medieval and they think 🤔 that anything’s contrary to their faith was evil 👿. I do not try to blame the Catholic Church destroy everything all religions believe that others ideas contrary to their own were evil among them India Islam Judaism and other primitive faith including pagans.

Despite the loss of four ships the expedition was a commercial success and Elcano became famous in his time. I thought he would be worthy of mention even though this video is not about him.

And in american movies the asian guy has small eyes which is not a common trait in Filipinos...

      @renerpho 5 лет назад +31

      The ultimate fate of Enrique is unknown. Magellan had asked for Enrique to be freed upon his death. After Magellan died on Cebu on 27 April 1521, Enrique is said to have left the island on May 1st, probably with the intention to return to his home island Malacca, 4,000 km west of Cebu. It is not known whether he made it. If he succeeded, Enrique would have been the very first person to completely circumnavigate the Earth and return to his starting point.

      Because one of the theory is being that Enrique back to malacca converted back to muslim and which means he is the first man to sail all around the world .. and there's a reason why Ferdinand keep Awang(Enrique) and sell all of the malays slave in GOA but not Awang.. it is because they used him as guidance to sail he is master of reading the star ...and some people say because of Awang Ferdinand decided to sail the world .. and like we all knew the original plan is not to sail around the world

    In the video, there was a point where it says 1529 - but I think it should be 1520 since they arrived in the PH in 1521.
    I think you should also get other sources for this. This one seems...dated(?) compared to your other vids with much nuance. The last part in the PH seems a bit one-sided. PH history books tell a different picture. It seems that Magellan didn't understand the power dynamics of the islands (which is not surprising). Humabon is called "Rajah" while Lapu-Lapu is often considered as a "Datu" - which makes Lapu-Lapu a local leader rebelling against the rajah's hegemony of power in the area - at least with his particular policy of accepting the foreign invaders. There's also not much evidence that Humabon was the one who gave "intel" that they were fighting few natives. Instead, Magellan is portrayed as (too) confident that he didn't even call upon Humabon's help in subduing Lapu-Lapu. It is highly possible that he just didn't know the number of Lapu-Lapu's men.
    Humabon's (poisoned) feast for the survivors is interesting. One could say that he suddenly had no "use" for his foreign allies after they were defeated by his rival Lapu-Lapu. Humabon could've viewed the invaders as mere tools or friends only when useful. Enrique (Magellan's slave) is also suspected as a traitor by one of the survivors of the poisoning - as Enrique quickly seemed to be on the side of the natives and unharmed.
