What did john Cabot accomplish for England?
In 1493, when word of Columbus' reports of his successful journey to the New World arrived, Cabot convinced King Henry VII that England did not have to sit still while the Spaniards helped themselves to the New World. Even though the Pope had given Spain control of all the new lands in the New World, King Henry VII liked Cabot's idea. He paid for Cabot to begin an exploration of the New World as it might add to England's wealth by opening up new trade routes. Cabot also convinced him that it was possible to reach Asia on a more northerly route than Columbus had taken, and this route would be even shorter! The idea that a northern route existed started the search for the Northwest Passage to the Indies. Cabot sailed out of Bristol with his ship, the Matthew, on May 2, 1497. When he saw land on 24th June 1497, it was not Asia that he had discovered, but Newfoundland (now part of Canada). Cabot did not realise it, but he had found a continent that was unknown in Europe, which he claimed in the name of England. As well as being the first European explorer to discover the mainland of North America (Canada and the United States), he also sailed further north, making the first recorded attempt to find the Northwest Passage, only to find ice-crusted waters.
What was john Cabot goals?
John Cabot's goal was to find the Northwest Passage, a passage that was believed would lead him to Asia. ============================================================================ Well, talking about the Northwest Passage puts us several years ahead of the voyage of John Cabot in 1497. The first of several expeditions to find a northwest passage was that of British mariner Martin Frobisher in 1576, more than three-quarters of a century after Cabot. John Cabot's major goal in 1497 was to reach the Orient by sailing westward across the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, Europeans were unaware of the existence of the continents of North America and South America. The issue of a northwest passage could not have arisen in 1497, because the fact of the way to the Orient being blocked by the Americas was still unknown. Furthermore, even the question of whether the Earth was flat or a sphere was still controversial. Over the next several years, a handful of European explorers searched various parts of the east coast of North America, looking for a way to the Orient. Every major indentation turned out to be just a bay. One of the last such explorers was Jacques Cartier, whose voyage in 1535-1536 was intended to find a route up the St Lawrence River and through the "New World" of the Americas. The St Lawrence was the last of the major indentations to be explored. When Cartier reached the present site of Montréal and found the way blocked by the Lachine Rapids, only then did thoughts about a way to the Orient begin to focus on the north. In one sense, Cabot did not attain his goal, because he did not reach the Orient. In another sense, he did achieve the goal of not falling off the end of the Earth. What Cabot discovered was the Isle of Newfoundland. Like Columbus, Cabot thought he had reached Asia.
