He also led the first expedition that sailed around the world although he himself did not finish the journey. At first he sailed under the flag of his native country, Portugal, but when the Portuguese King Manuel II refused to let him lead an expedition to the Spice Islands in Indonesia, he decided to leave Portugal and go to Spain.
