Write a critical analysis of the important historical information found in Antonio

Pigafetta's First Voyage Around the World.

"The First Round the World" is about the expedition of Antonio Pigapeta with Ferdinand
Magellan. Antonio Pigafetta is Ferdinand Magellan's assistant, and therefore his writings are
considered the main source. His first expedition was in 151922 to the Isle of Spices under the
banner of King Carlos I of Spain, where he circumnavigated the world after Magellan's death. On
September 8, 1522, the crew of the Victoria fought in the waters of Seville, Spain, where they had
recently completed their trip around the world. The ship was carrying Antonio Pigapeta, a young
Italian nobleman who had participated in the campaign three years earlier and had joined as a
partner on the way to Molucas on behalf of Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan is dead. Pigafetta's
diary was the trigger for his 1525 voyage "around the world". As researcher Theodore Cashey,
Jr. pointed out, the travel journal was an "abstract example of classification" and has achieved
worldwide fame. Francesco Chiericati, one of Pigafetta's supporters, called the diary "a heavenly
thing. " The engagement at Mactan, published in Pigafetta's travel journal, makes clear what
happened before, during, and after. The event took place on Friday, April 26th. The chieftain of
Mactan in Cebu, Jula, sent one of his children to bring two goats to the table and pay the
commander-in-chief some sort of reparation, but there was no way to let them go. Another boss,
Chilapulapu, who does not obey the lord of Spain. He asked the captain to send only one boat
with the men to aid in the battle against Chilapulapu the next night. The general decided to send
three ships with the people. He told me not to go, but he refused. At 12:00 noon, 60 men armed
themselves and came out with Christian monarchs and officials, some central troops, and 20 to
30 Balyang. They arrived in Mactan three hours before dawn.

Commander Ferdinand Magellan wanted to fight the locals. He specifically said that he
would submit to the Spanish lord, accept Christianity as a religion and become a companion if
accepted, but otherwise he would understand how property is destroyed and uproar. Locals
replied that if there was land, there would be a playground with hardened bamboo braziers. Locals
have asked not to deal with free games for everyone, but to keep them until morning so that there
are enough fighters for battle. In the morning, 49 pilgrims jumped up to their hips and walked on
the water. The ship was unable to access the shore because of the huge rocks. The other 11
remained to see the pontoon. When they landed, these people were divided into three groups of
over 1,000,500. The locals attacked the travelers as soon as they saw them. At that moment,
when Magellan saw them, he divided his troops into two and began to fight. Riflemen and
crossbowmen opened fire on all locals for about 30 minutes. After all, their bullets only go through
the thin shields of the locals. But the very novelty that travel can offer, which constitutes so many
possibilities, raises questions. The essayist of the movement demands, on the one hand, the
authority of an observing gaze and, on the other hand, humility against ambiguity. Having got to
know others, Pigafetta tries to determine her position with the help of many details. He brings to
us their realities, how similar they are, where they live, what they eat and what they speak, and
pages and pages of words from Patagonia, Cebu, Tidore. But little can be expected sooner or
later in the 16th century. 20 years later, there is little silence, and the Pope isolated the unknown
between Spain and Portugal. Magellan and his associates are a corporation that has reached an
agreement with the Spanish government to continue to guarantee the positions of lieutenant and
governor over the territories they find for themselves and their beneficiaries. Plus, money. There
is also a 1/20 advantage in these landscapes. In First Voyage, there is a huge gap between what
Pigafetta sees and what Pigafetta knows. I learned about this bay while living in Mariana as a
child. This is very important because taking travel notes can be too burdensome for me right now.

Arriving in Mariana after drifting for about four months without any new food, the
commander said, “The commander wanted to stop on a huge island to get some new food, but
he couldn’t because the islanders got on the boat and took everything. They were able to reach
us in a way that we could not defend ourselves.” Sailors did not realize that property was revealed
to the islanders and that it was customary to share what guests owned. So, in the first contact
photo, Magellan and his ghetto group fought back. They made their way to the shore and,
according to Pigafetta, devoured 40 to 50 houses. They killed seven men. Shared surprise at the
new and the wondrous took a dull turn: "At the point when we injured any of those individuals with
our crossbow shafts, which went totally through their flanks from one side to the next, they, seeing
it, pulled on the pole now on this and now on that side, and afterward coaxed it out, with
extraordinary amazement, thus passed on; other people who were injured in the bosom did
likewise, which moved us to incredible empathy. We saw a few ladies in their pontoons who were
shouting out and tearing their hair, for affection, I accept, of their dead. “Magellan named the
archipelago Islas de los Ladrones, the Islands of Thieves.

The name would stick for the following 300 years, in length after the islands were
consumed into the Spanish realm. The name, the intense, critical stroke of it, has for quite some
time been moored to my past, to those old history exercises. There is no inclination in it except
for rage. So I was surprised to see the sailors moved with sympathy in the contents of Pigapetta.
They seem to realize at this time of wonder that the islanders are facing the unknown.

From the Mariana Islands, the fleet moved to the Philippines. There they wait, explore the
land, exchange blessings with bosses, and watch people. Besides, I find out what people are
looking for. I understand that through Pigapeta I see the stillness of the world just before it is
completely changed. Then there are coconuts and bananas, and then Pigafetta, who admires her
unstable and lovable personality. This is still happening in the content as Filipino pilots are being
caught to point the way to Molucca, the way to taste. Here's Pigafetta. Wandering, indexing, and
making up for lost time in the great currents of other worlds. As you read, you begin to hear the
father describe his people. Via Luzon, across the sea to the Visayas, and across the sea to
Mindanao. I hear passion and pain, fear, and joy. I hear miracles. I feel the rhythm of movement.
Two of their captains were killed, and Pigapeta expressed the leadership of an honorable leader.
He particularly mentioned his remarkable achievements and talents in Round the World. Saturday
was a blessing day for him, so the battle took place on the Saturday the commander wanted. With
him in the battle, eight of our fellow men were executed and the four Indians who helped us after
converting to Christianity were killed by the ship's mortars. Only 15 were killed by the enemy and
a significant number of travelers were wounded. In the late afternoon, Captain Christian, with the
consent of the traveler, passes the specifics to the Mactans, giving them the same number if they
give it to the rest of the captain and others executed. of the item. And what they need. The locals
said they wouldn't give up a single person, as they expected, and they wouldn't give up on him
for all the riches on earth, but they intended to keep him as a guide. Antonio Pigapeta is an in-
depth discussion at the Battle of Mactan. Pigafetta's letter is considered the main source because
it described all the information, details, and events of the travelogue. The history of the first rounds
and expeditions left a good mark on history.
