What is the relationship between Columbus and Magellan?

The relationship between Columbus and Magellan is: the archetypal figure in the opening of new shipping routes.

At the time, ocean voyages meant adventure: they could not accurately measure longitude, wooden hulls could not resist maggots, food reserves were not suitable for long-term voyages, and the sanitary and living conditions on board were poor.

However, driven by both economic and political interests, the explorations carried out by these people have greatly expanded the scope of the known world.

In 1492, the Italian Christopher Christopher Columbus, with the support of the Spanish crown, opened a new route to the Americas.

1519 In 1522, the Portuguese Magellan also completed the crossing of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans with the support of the Spanish crown. Back to the round-the-world voyage to Europe.

Both Columbus and Magellan were navigators.

And Columbus, Magellan and the like sailed because they were to plunder the wealth of the East. The first thing Columbus said when he landed in America and met the Indians was to ask, "**in**!"

Magellan was killed during his voyage because of a conflict with the natives. Captain Cook was killed by the Aborigines in Australia. Because they are all accompanied by aggressive purposes.

People say that Columbus and Magellan passed on the civilization of utensils, and Columbus and Magellan relied on ships and guns to go overseas in search of plunder**, for the expansion of European financial currency and the needs of the early development of capitalism.

Ocean-going navigators, opening up new continents.

Columbus went west to discover Central America, and Magellan sailed around the world. Practice verifies the theory of the circle of the earth.

The relationship between seniors and juniors.

A typical figure in the opening of new shipping routes.

In 1492, the Italian Christopher Christopher Columbus, with the support of the Spanish crown, opened a new route to the Americas.

1519 In 1522, the Portuguese Magellan also completed the crossing of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans with the support of the Spanish crown. Back to the round-the-world voyage to Europe.

The difference between Magellan and Columbus is:

1. The purpose is different, Columbus started his voyage career because of his own interest, but also to prove the truth that the earth is also round. Magellan's voyages, on the other hand, were marked by political overtones and dark struggles between states.

2. The result was different, Columbus opened a new route, crossed the Atlantic and reached the American continent. And Magellan completed the world's first round-the-world trip.

3. The ending is different, Columbus ends up sleeping in Spain, and Magellan dies unexpectedly in a tribal conflict during the voyage.

Major achievements: The Victoria was the smallest of the five ships, and it took three years to circumnavigate the globe, and the value of the cloves it brought back was equivalent to the cost of building an entire fleet.

The captain of the returning ship did not talk about Magellan: he was too strict with his subordinates, too reckless in the Philippines, and accused him of being suspected of defecting to Portugal all the way. Although the fleet successfully crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach the Spice Islands, it did not find a shipping route back to the Americas, and the establishment of the Pacific route would have to wait for another half a century of exploration.

The first voyage around the world was actually a failed journey, geographically meaningful and commercially unprofitable. Magellan was treated as a sinner by Spain and condemned by the king. But there was more than one nautical diary left on board, especially with a Venetian Pigafitta, who recorded his experiences along the way, admired Magellan, and was lucky enough to be one of the eighteen good men.

It was he who published his nautical diary among the people, and later generations proposed to be rehabilitated and credited with Magellan for his first circumnavigation voyage.
