Paper 2

Travelling all the way around the world.
A voyage all the way around the Earth.
Use dates and explain significance. Drake’s circumnavigation in 1577–1580 brought treasure, increased geographical knowledge and challenged Spanish power.
Support a point with precise evidence, such as Drake’s capture of the Cacafuego in 1579 or his circumnavigation in 1577–80.
Distinguish Drake’s original aims from the outcomes of his voyage: circumnavigation was not his initial purpose in 1577.
