Cartier was looking for a northwest passage to Asia, hoping to find a more direct route for trade. Hudson was seeking a shorter route to Asia and was exploring in search of a passage through North America. Both expeditions were driven by a desire to find new trade routes and potentially discover new lands.

Jacques Cartier was an early European explorer of the New World. Like many explorers of their day, they pursued a strategy of finding a shorter passage way to the riches of the Far East.
