Magellan & Elcano- First Voyage Around the World


The history department at OSU (Ohio State University) tweeted this excellent 10-minute clip about Magellan's voyage and its importance to Spain and to world history. 

The voyage led to the beginning of global trade and generated new scientific knowledge about global time and the earth's circumference. 

OSU includes an accompanying reading about Magellan's voyage here.

This clip is ideal for the unit on the beginning of global trade.
