Best Answer

He was a French explorer. He claimed Canada for France. He named Canada, and he called the people living in Canada "Canadians."

Jacques Cartier was challenged by the king of France to do several things. Here are some of them:

  • To find a shipping route to the Orient to allow France traders to import silk and other fine products to Europe.
  • Find precious gems and metals such as gold to make France rich.
