+In 1522, thirty years after Columbus' landfall in the Bahamas, another
+ship sailing west in the service of Spain completed the first voyage
+round the world.  It had set out under the command of a Portuguese,
+Magellan, who had got as far as the Philippines, where he was killed.
+By then he had discovered and sailed through the straits named after him
+and with this voyage and its demonstration that the great oceans were
+all interconnected, the prologue to the European age can be considered
+over.

+Columbus set sail in 1492 and after 69 days his three little ships made
+a landfall in the Bahamas.  A fortnight later he came to Cuba, which he
+named Hispaniola, before returning to Spain.  The following year he came
+back to explore the islands known ever since as the West Indies (whose
+name commemorates Columbus' tenacious belief that he had reached Asia).
+His confident leap in the dark had changed world history.  Without
+knowing it he had discovered a new world.
