## Resource

What if Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer, never embarked on his daring voyage to circumnavigate the globe? Join us as we delve into the intricate details of the Age of Discovery, the geopolitical landscape of the time, and the technological advancements that made such voyages possible. We will then reimagine history, exploring how the world might have evolved without Magellan's groundbreaking journey and the subsequent acceleration of global exploration and trade.
