The Laundering of the Crimes of the Spanish Empire and Evidence of Spanish Nationalism
The World Tour, launched by Magellan in 1519 and completed by Elcano in 1522, is considered the most important maritime expedition in history on the website of the Nao Victoria Foundation. The following data are highlighted below: "This expedition, promoted by the Spanish Crown, called the Army of Spices, aimed to acquire the trade that at that time provided the greatest benefits worldwide." They refer to the massive looting created by the kingdoms of Portugal and Castile, mainly after the subjugation of several Asian peoples.
The Foundation allocates the following "achievements" to the Magellan and Elcano World Tour, without hiding the Eurocentrist and imperialist language and vision:
- They "discovered" the Strait of Magellan, the islands of Mariana, Moluka, Marshall, Tuamoto and the Philippines.
- They discovered the way from Spain to the island of Spices. Nao Victoria came back full of spices.
- They started a "huge transoceanic trade flow", definitively connecting Europe, America and Asia.
