Economic ImpactsLastly, Ferdinand’s main goal of finding a trade route to the Spice Islands was accomplished and lots of riches were brought back to Spain. Magellan’s crew arrived at the Spice Islands after his death, on their way back to Seville. These islands were loaded with the multi-purpose spices that were so high-end at the time. The crew stocked up the remaining vessels and sailed back to Spain with tons of spices. As a result, Spain’s economy became much stronger now that they had an abundance of this powerful resource for trade. During the period after their return, Spain was a very rich country. Not only did they have this large amount of spice, but they now also had knowledge of a faster route to the Spice Islands, in which they could obtain more goods as time went on, at a faster pace than their surrounding competitors.
