In the 15th century, spices came to Europe via the Middle East land and sea routes, and there were increasing
demands in spices both for food dishes and for use in medicines. It has been also the age of exploration when
explorers like Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) and Vasco da Gama (1469-1524) were sent to find a maritime
route from Europe to Asia. Riches could be won, then, if the Europeans could bypass the established routes and
meet the ever-rising demand for spices in Europe. In order to achieve this, a development of maritime travel
technology was needed. Then, a route to Asia had to be found.

Explanation:

In 1512, Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) left Spain and made the first circumnavigation of the globe. On 16
March 1521, Magellan sighted the mountains of what is now Samar. Then, he ordered his men to anchor their
ships on the shores of Homonhon Island. There Magellan befriended Rajah Kolambu and Rajah Siagu, king of
Limasawa, who guided him to Cebu.

When Magellan reached Cebu, small force was immediately attacked by the natives. They surrounded
Magellan's landing party, attacking from the front and both flanks. The heavy armor of the Spaniards largely
protected them from this barrage, inflicting only a handful of fatalities on the Europeans, but it was heavily
demoralizing on the troops.

Magellan, hoping to ease the attack, set fire to some of the houses, but this only enraged the natives. Magellan
was finally hit with a poisoned arrow through his unarmored legs, at which time the natives charged the
Europeans for close-quarters combat. That was how the Battle of Mactan happened.
