How did Magellan impact on the today's society?
The circumnavigation voyage of Ferdinand Magellan greatly impacted our modern world socially, environmentally and economically. Ferdinand Magellan's also had made a lot of discoveries in his age, which was during the 1500s. His exploration has also greatly impacted on our present day's knowledge and as an inspiration to today's explorers.
During Magellan's exploration he discovered many things. One thing that he discovered was the Spice Island trade route. Without his discovery of this route, in the 1500s Portugal could have sunk economically because spice trading was one of the major business's that kept Portugal's economic status up. He also found some llamas/alpacas/vicuñas/guanacos and penguins during his circumnavigation voyage, which then he told back to his homeland people in Portugal, and which could have influenced on our knowledge of these animals today.
Ferdinand Magellan's voyages also influenced our modern world socially, culturally and environmentally. He proved to our explorers and other people today that circumnavigating the world was possible. Without this proof, in our present day we wouldn't dare to travel around the world. His circumnavigation voyage also proved that the world was round, in his voyage of world navigation, he traveled all around the world and he found that he went back to where he started his voyage, in Portugal. Magellan and his crew were also very religious people. Magellan and his crew were Christians, wherever they went they would spread the Word of God to the people to tell them to become a Christian.
Lastly, Magellan impacted our modern world environmentally by naming the largest ocean in the world. Ferdinand Magellan was not only the first person to circumnavigate the world but the person who named the Pacific Ocean. During his navigation of the globe voyage, he sailed through the Pacific Ocean. He described the Pacific Ocean as the calm and peaceful ocean, which was why it was named the Pacific Ocean.
