1522 - 18 men on the Victoria manage to return to Spain after "discovering" the Philippines. The voyage started with five ships and more than 300 men.
Its leader, Ferdinand Magellan, was not among the 18.
Still, the voyage was a success because they managed to circumnavigate the globe, proving the Earth was round.
