Actually Magellan was dead

True, Magellan's SHIP proved it

True, Magellan's SHIP proved it

Nope, Magellan´s ship Trinidad didnt return either. Of the five initial vessels only the Victoria commanded by Elcano made it.

BTW circumnavigating the word was never part of Magellan´s plans, it was Elcano, who after Magellan death at Philipines deciced to continue westward to return to Europe instead of turning back.

Dommy, the point was... they didn't have any laws nor land ownership theories...
Obviously, the world would not be better off had the status quo been left to continue.

OK, a ship from his FLEET proved it

Magellan didn't really have a fleet, he only had one caravel and four carracks.

A ship within Magellans group of vessels proved it
