The discovery of islands with gold and other precious items.

Jacques Cartier was influenced by the explorations of Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano, who had explored the coast of North America. Additionally, Cartier was likely influenced by the desire to find a northwest passage to Asia, similar to the exploration efforts of other European navigators of his time.
