誰是環繞地球的第一人？1519年9月20日，麥哲倫在西班牙王室的支持下，在哥倫布探尋的新航線的基礎上，率領由265名水手和5艘船組成的船隊，從西班牙的塞韋爾港出發，橫渡大西洋，沿巴西東海岸南下。第二年10月，他們穿過南美洲南端的海峽，繼續向西航行。由于沿途風平浪靜，所以麥哲倫把這片大海叫做太平海（即太平洋）。他們繼續航行，歷經艱辛，終于在1521年3月到達菲律賓群島。不幸的是，麥哲倫在島上干涉當地人之間的內訌，被當地居民殺害。伙伴們帶著他的遺愿于1522年9月7日回到了西班牙。麥哲倫環球航行是世界航線史上的一大成就，不僅開辟了歐洲與亞洲的新航線，開啟了大航海時代，帶動了航海文明的崛起，溝通了東西方的海上貿易，傳播了文明和技術，更為地圓說提供了確鑿的證據。

達伽馬出生于葡萄牙的一個航海世家。他從小接受系統的航海和天文知識的教育，是當時少數擁有航海知識的宮廷大臣。當時，歐洲對外貿易發展迅速。大量商人、航海家冒著生命危險遠航大西洋，試圖開辟到東方的新航路。葡萄牙國王也多次派遣船隊，試圖探索一條通向印度的航道，并到達了非洲最南端的好望角。但因風暴太強，無功而返。1492年，哥倫布發現美洲的消息傳遍了歐洲。面對西班牙咄咄逼人的海上霸權，葡萄牙決心加快探索通往印度的航線。這一重大使命就交給了年富力強，富有冒險精神的貴族子弟——達伽馬。1497年7月8日，達伽馬率領四艘小型船共計170多名水手，踏上了探索之路。1498年1月，達伽馬抵達了東非的莫桑比克海域。1499年9月9日，達伽馬回到里斯本，只剩下2條船和55名水手。達伽馬開拓出了一條到印度的新航線，受到葡萄牙國王的大量賞賜，并賜尊稱為“印度洋上的海軍上將”。之后，達伽馬后續又進行了幾次航行，并在劫掠的過程中因疾病死于印度。達伽馬通過自身的專業知識，最終開辟了一條從西歐經好望角到亞洲的海上航線，開創了世界歷史的新紀元，同時也是歐洲殖民者對東方國家進行殖民掠奪的開端。在以后幾個世紀中，由于西方列強接踵而來，印度洋沿岸各國以及西太平洋各國相繼淪為殖民地和半殖民地。
Vasco da Gama
(1460-1524) was

explorer and the
first European to reach India by sea. His initial journey to India opened up the sea route from Western Europe to the east by way of the Cape of Good Hope.

哥倫布出生在意大利的熱那亞。他早年從事航?；顒樱胶＜夹g和地理知識有深入研究，深信地球是圓的。在成年后的大部分時間里，哥倫布都在尋求資助，希望通過西向航行找到通往亞洲的新路線。經過多年努力，他最終獲得了西班牙王室伊莎貝拉女王和費迪南德國王的支持，得以實現他的航海計劃。
哥倫布進行了四次跨大西洋航行。他的第一次航行在1492年開始，在這次航行中，哥倫布最初是試圖找到一條前往亞洲的西行航道，但他首次登陸的地點實際上是現今的巴哈馬群島，他后來又探索了古巴和西班牙島（現海地和多米尼加共和國）。哥倫布錯誤地認為他已經抵達了亞洲的邊緣。在隨后的幾次航行中，哥倫布探索了加勒比海的更多島嶼，包括今天的牙買加和中美洲沿海，并宣布它們為西班牙帝國的領地。
盡管哥倫布在其生前并未完全認識到他發現了一個新大陸，而非亞洲，他的這些航行具有重大的歷史意義，它們標志著歐洲人首次系統地與美洲大陸接觸，并開啟了后續的歐洲探險、殖民和貿易活動。
