Between 1577 and 1580, English sea captain Sir Francis Drake completed the second-ever circumnavigation of the globe. During his expedition, Drake explored new territories, raided Spanish ships, and claimed land for England along the Pacific coast of North America. His voyage not only demonstrated England's growing naval power but also brought back immense wealth from captured Spanish treasure. Drake’s circumnavigation significantly boosted England’s prestige in global exploration and helped establish the country as a formidable maritime power.
