Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation | #shorts #bizarreexplorers

The history books lied to you about Sir Francis Drake! Forget noble exploration; this guy was a state-sponsored pirate rockstar! He circumnavigated the globe, not for maps, but for loot, plundering Spanish galleons loaded with gold. He claimed California for England, probably while the Spanish were still chasing him! Queen Elizabeth I herself knighted him right on his ship, turning a notorious pirate into a national hero. Imagine: going around the world, stealing everything not nailed down, and coming home a hero! Did the school system fail you on this one? Let me know in the comments.
