IAC Blue Set History Practice Test

Ferdinand Magellan is described as a which nationality in historical accounts?

Spanish Portuguese Italian Dutch

Correct Answer:

Portuguese

Explanation:

Magellan’s nationality is described as Portuguese because he was born in Portugal and began his seafaring career serving the Portuguese crown. Although the voyage he led was funded by Spain and became a Spanish-led expedition, his origin and early career are rooted in Portugal. So, in historical accounts, he’s identified as Portuguese, with Spain later linked to the famous voyage he commanded. Italian and Dutch have no significant connection to his birth or early career.
