In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out
from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands.
En route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first
European to cross the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was long and dangerous, and only one ship
returned home three years later. Although it was laden with valuable spices from the East, only
18 of the fleet’s original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle
on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and
that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.

The Cavite mutiny (Spanish: El Mótin de Cavite) of 1872 was an uprising of Filipino military
personnel of Fort San Felipe, the Spanish arsenal in Cavite,[1]:107 Philippine Islands (then also
known as part of the Spanish East Indies) on 20 January 1872. Around 200 locally recruited
colonial troops and laborers rose up in the belief that it would elevate to a national uprising. The
mutiny was unsuccessful, and government soldiers executed many of the participants and
began to crack down on a burgeoning Philippines nationalist movement. Many scholars
believed that the Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was the beginning of Filipino nationalism that would
eventually lead to the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
