谁是环绕地球的第一人?1519年9月20日,麦哲伦在西班牙王室的支持下,在哥伦布探寻的新航线的基础上,率领由265名水手和5艘船组成的船队,从西班牙的塞韦尔港出发,横渡大西洋,沿巴西东海岸南下。第二年10月,他们穿过南美洲南端的海峡,继续向西航行。由于沿途风平浪静,所以麦哲伦把这片大海叫做太平海(即太平洋)。他们继续航行,历经艰辛,终于在1521年3月到达菲律宾群岛。不幸的是,麦哲伦在岛上干涉当地人之间的内讧,被当地居民杀害。伙伴们带着他的遗愿于1522年9月7日回到了西班牙。麦哲伦环球航行是世界航线史上的一大成就,不仅开辟了欧洲与亚洲的新航线,开启了大航海时代,带动了航海文明的崛起,沟通了东西方的海上贸易,传播了文明和技术,更为地圆说提供了确凿的证据。

达伽马出生于葡萄牙的一个航海世家。他从小接受系统的航海和天文知识的教育,是当时少数拥有航海知识的宫廷大臣。当时,欧洲对外贸易发展迅速。大量商人、航海家冒着生命危险远航大西洋,试图开辟到东方的新航路。葡萄牙国王也多次派遣船队,试图探索一条通向印度的航道,并到达了非洲最南端的好望角。但因风暴太强,无功而返。1492年,哥伦布发现美洲的消息传遍了欧洲。面对西班牙咄咄逼人的海上霸权,葡萄牙决心加快探索通往印度的航线。这一重大使命就交给了年富力强,富有冒险精神的贵族子弟——达伽马。1497年7月8日,达伽马率领四艘小型船共计170多名水手,踏上了探索之路。1498年1月,达伽马抵达了东非的莫桑比克海域。1499年9月9日,达伽马回到里斯本,只剩下2条船和55名水手。达伽马开拓出了一条到印度的新航线,受到葡萄牙国王的大量赏赐,并赐尊称为“印度洋上的海军上将”。之后,达伽马后续又进行了几次航行,并在劫掠的过程中因疾病死于印度。达伽马通过自身的专业知识,最终开辟了一条从西欧经好望角到亚洲的海上航线,开创了世界历史的新纪元,同时也是欧洲殖民者对东方国家进行殖民掠夺的开端。在以后几个世纪中,由于西方列强接踵而来,印度洋沿岸各国以及西太平洋各国相继沦为殖民地和半殖民地。
Vasco da Gama
(1460-1524) was
a Portuguese
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.

哥伦布出生在意大利的热那亚。他早年从事航海活动,并对航海技术和地理知识有深入研究,深信地球是圆的。在成年后的大部分时间里,哥伦布都在寻求资助,希望通过西向航行找到通往亚洲的新路线。经过多年努力,他最终获得了西班牙王室伊莎贝拉女王和费迪南德国王的支持,得以实现他的航海计划。
哥伦布进行了四次跨大西洋航行。他的第一次航行在1492年开始,在这次航行中,哥伦布最初是试图找到一条前往亚洲的西行航道,但他首次登陆的地点实际上是现今的巴哈马群岛,他后来又探索了古巴和西班牙岛(现海地和多米尼加共和国)。哥伦布错误地认为他已经抵达了亚洲的边缘。在随后的几次航行中,哥伦布探索了加勒比海的更多岛屿,包括今天的牙买加和中美洲沿海,并宣布它们为西班牙帝国的领地。
尽管哥伦布在其生前并未完全认识到他发现了一个新大陆,而非亚洲,他的这些航行具有重大的历史意义,它们标志着欧洲人首次系统地与美洲大陆接触,并开启了后续的欧洲探险、殖民和贸易活动。
