Vasco Balboa

    America.

    European to see the pacific ocean. He claimed all
    the land that the pacific ocean touched for
    Spain.

How he Died
  • Here is the story of how Balboa died. He was
    arrested on the false charge of instigating a
    rebellion. So he was beheaded in January 1519.

Obstacles
  • Some of his obstacles are that he fell into
    dept so he decided to stowaway on a ship. He also
    decided to stowaway because the bottom of his
    ship was attacked by certain worms that eat wood
    not termites.

Extra Facts
  • Balboa when he found the island where he saw
    the pacific ocean he called for reinforcements to
    help explore but he did not wait and he saw the
    ocean by himself. He fell into dept because his
    farming was not a success so he fell into dept.
    When he got to the land he discovered the founder
    had fled so Balboa got the glory.
