Magellan died in the Philippines, around half way the entire planned trip. I wonder how come he ever demonstrated something he never accomplished. His second in command Juan Sebastian Elcano was the one finishing the entire circumvallation. Also Magellan, in order to have his trip financed by the Spanish/Castilian crown, had to be naturalized as Castilian and his name changed to Fernando Magallanes. Gee, it's history, right up your alley.

[@j.yumuraj2880]

Magellan was the mastermind of the first global circumnavigation and will always be remembered for it. Elcano finished it, but the trip would never have happened without Magellan.

[@joseabad9416]

@@j.yumuraj2880 it was possible to happen because he got backed up by the crown of Castile (and had to become naturalized in the process, meaning he was a Spanish subject at the time he did it, no matter where he was born at) otherwise it would have not happened at all. He didn't seem to have much control over it anyway and his own belief that he was better than anyone else, was his final demise too.

[@j.yumuraj2880]

a) Nobody really cares about the naturalization. He was Portuguese, working on Spain’s behalf. That’s how his men saw him, that’s how he saw himself. b) He’s an important historical figure regardless of whether he died on the voyage. Nobody else at the time was daring enough to attempt circumnavigation, and Elcano (who attempted a failed coup halfway through the journey btw) couldn’t have planned the trip, or navigated the uncharted portions of it.

[@joseabad9416]

@@j.yumuraj2880 Magellan in Portugal couldn't have done anything, they didn't want him there, that's why he had to become a Spaniard, You say ElCano, couldn't have done it? How did he ended completing the voyage then? I mean it was half a way, it's not like Magellan came any closer to finish it at all. Magellan made a free ride without almost any opposition, it was ElCano who had to take the rest of the trip avoiding conflict with anyone in their way, far from the open sea the Pacifc ocean was. It would have been easier for him to come back from where he came, yet he continued the trip. You're just puking dumb stuff. If ElCano never went back and told the story, no one would even know Magellan got all the way to where he did and he would have been totally irrelevant. Same way Verner Von Braun, couldn't have further his scientific developments without financial support and American nationality, no matter if he was born in Germany. Stop drinking, it's clouding your reasoning.

[@j.yumuraj2880]

@@joseabad9416by the time Elcano took over the voyage, they were no longer in uncharted territory. Magellan found the Strait of Magellan, Magellan crossed the Pacific. Most of the rest of the journey had already been traveled by Europeans. Elcano was not a navigator, and didn’t plan the journey. This is an incredibly strange argument you are making, but I think it’s because you’re Filipino and you don’t want to give credit to Magellan. Regardless, Magellan is remembered as the one who accomplished the feat, and rightfully so. Goodbye.

Luther wanted to reform the church. And he was not alone - the idea was ripe that the contemporary church was corrupted by Luxus and achievement of absolute power. Bishops, Cardinals and even the Pope got their titles through buying it - and ruling areas like kings - no separation of religion and government and jurisdiction. Luther was no Revolutionary but it happened that his upstanding against the established system evoked the German peasant-revolt of 1525. This turned soon into a bloody civil-war. Luther was disgusted by the violence and took side with the noblemen that this had to end. But then he was later shocked when the peasants were all slaughtered brutally.

The view of that war in Central Europe and elsewhere is not the same. We in Croatia (and elsewhere in the Balkans) are more "hurt" by the Ottoman conquests, which were just as cruel, but lasted 10 times longer.

This lasted from the middle of the 15th century to the end of the 16th century. You from Western Europe always take it upon yourself to be smart about things you have no idea about.

In Europe, I believe so, especially if measured by deaths per capita (1/3 of Germans dead). It was 30 years of fighting, after all! China and other parts of Asia experienced wars with higher death tolls (Taipeng Rebellion, Mongol atrocities, other Chinese civil wars).
