1494. Spain and Portugal are both really into this new business of sailing the seas and owning everything you touch, but they have a problem. What if the other country sails the seas and touches the stuff that they own? That would be bad! So they cut the world in half. Spain owns this half of the Earth, and Portugal owns this half of the Earth. Spain gets to colonize the New World and make all the money buying slaves and selling sugar and chocolate and silver. Portugal gets to control who can sail around Africa, which means they get to make all the money trading slaves and spices.
But one day, an enterprising man by the name of Ferdinand Magellan arrives in the Spanish King’s court. He says “Your majesty, what if I told you the islands where Portugal gets its spices are actually on your half of the Earth? And what if I told you, you didn’t have to sail around Africa to get there? I’m like 90% sure we can wiggle underneath South America, and if we do, that’s your ticket to the untold riches of the spice trade.

one tiny detail about the stop at Cape Verde that for me confirms 100% they went around the world is that the ship's log was a day behind the calander. They did not understand why, blaming it on a mistake along the way. But to people familliar with planitary physics can understand that evrey degree travelled west brings you 4 minutes behind the rest of the world. Because they went 360, their log was 24h behind. (360*4)/60 = 24 hours

Also, think Magellan's crew did mutiny on at least one occasion. As for Columbus, crew probably should have. Even if you ignore what happened when they got to the Caribbean, Columbus was pretty shitty to his crew as well. Queen Isabela promised a pension to the first man who sighted land on the voyage and one of the men did, but Columbus claimed he'd sighted land a few hours before dawn and cheated him of his pension.

[@GazilionPT]

Magellan *did* circle the entire World - only, not in a single voyage. While working to his country (Portugal), Magellan (i.e. Magalhães) sailed East across the Indian Ocean and visited several islands that are now part of Indonesia. The eastern-most island he visited was *Ambon.* While working for Castile, he sailed West across the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far as *Mactan* (in what is now the Philippines), where he was killed. Ambon is farther East than Mactan, which means Magalhães more than circled the full 360º of the Earth, the first person to do so.
