Story of Spain in Indonesia

Ferdinand Magellan (sometimes also written Ferdinand) Magelan. Because of these figures, who led the first fleet around the world and prove that the earth is round, as it was known by Europeans earth is flat. Commencement of colonization for centuries by Spain with other European nations, mainly Portuguese, English and Dutch.
From Spain to the Pacific Ocean Portuguese fleet that sailed the Pacific Ocean, past the Cape of Good Hope Africa, towards the Straits of Malacca. From here proceed to the Moluccas exploration to find spices, gold equivalent commodity at the time.
"In the 16th century adventure begins when the sailors usually Catholic country was blessed by the priest and the king before sailing through the ocean.
On 20 September 1519, San Antonio, Concepcion, Victoria, and Santiago-the largest to the smallest-follow Magellan carriers, Trinidad, the second largest ship, as they set sail for South America. On December 13, they reached Brazil, and staring at Pao de Acucar, or Sugarloaf Mountain, which is impressive, they entered the bay of Rio de Janeiro were wonderful to repair and fill supplies. Then they went south into what is now Argentina, always looking for el paso, the elusive path leading to another ocean. Meanwhile, the air gets cold and icebergs began to appear. Finally, on March 31, 1520, Magellan decided to spend the winter in the port of San Julián cold.

The cruise has now taken six times longer than the voyage Columbus sailed the Atlantic Ocean first time and have not seen any of the strait! Morale is started cold weather in San Julián, and men, including some of the captains and officers, are desperate to go home. It is not surprising that the uprising. However, thanks to the quick and decisive action on the part of Magellan, it was thwarted and the two leaders are killed.
The presence of foreign ships in port must draw attention to the strong local-and large-bodied. Feeling like a dwarf compared to these giants, the visitors that land called Patagonia-from the Spanish word meaning "big feet" - to this day. They also observed the 'wolves of the sea calf, as well as black and white swans that swim in the water, eat fish, and has a beak like a crow'. Of course, none other than seals and penguins!
Polar latitudes are likely to experience a violent storm suddenly, and before the winter was over, the fleet suffered its first casualty Santiago small. However, fortunately the crew can be rescued from the sinking ship. After that, the four ships still survive, like tiny winged moth that hit in the middle of a frozen ocean currents, and never let up, fight tooth and nail head south to colder waters-until October 21. Sailing in the pouring rain that freezes, all eyes are on a gap in the west. El paso? Ya! Finally, they turned and entered the strait which came to be known as the Strait of Magellan! However, even this moment of triumph is tarnished. San Antonio deliberately lost in the maze of the strait and returned to Spain.
The three ships that still survive, diimpit by a narrow bay between snowcapped cliffs, with persistent sail through the winding strait that. To the countless fires in the south, possibly from the camp of the Indians, so they call it the land of Tierra del Fuego, "Land of Fire".
Magellan arrived in the Philippines invites local residents and led them to embrace Catholicism. But his spirit was also a disaster, where later he was involved in a tribal dispute. Only with the help of strength of 60 men, he attacked some 1,500 natives, with the belief that despite having to fight the crossbow, musket, but the Lord will guarantee victory. But what happens is the contrary, he and some of his subordinates were killed. Magellan at the time aged about 41 years. Pigafetta faithful wailing, 'They killed reflection, lights, entertainers, and our true guide. " A few days later, about 27 officers who had watched from their ship, killed by the chiefs who once friendly.

Due to the amount of the remaining crew just a little, so it is not possible to use three sailing ships, they then drown Concepción and sail with two ships remaining, Trinidad and Victoria to their final destination, the Spice Islands. After the two ships filled with spices, then the two ships set sail again separately. However, one of the two ships, the Trinidad was captured by the Portuguese and then the crew imprisoned.
However, Victoria, under the command of former rebel Juan Sebastián de Elcano, escaped. While avoiding all ports except one, they risk passing around the Cape of Good Hope route Portugal. However, without stopping to fill supplies are expensive strategy. When they finally reached Spain on 6 September 1522-three years since their departure-only 18 men were sick and helpless who survived. Nevertheless, it is irrefutable that they were the first to sail around the earth. Juan Sebastián de Elcano was a hero. It's an amazing thing, cargo weighing 26 tons of spices Victoria defray the costs of the entire expedition!
When the ship survived, Victoria, returned to port after completing a trip around the world the first time, only 18 men of 237 men who were on board at the beginning of departure. Among the survivors, there were two Italians, Antonio Pigafetta and Martino de Judicibus. Martino de Judicibus (Spanish: Martín de Judicibus) adalan people of Genoa [1] that acts as the Head Waiter.
