he wanted to explore because he wante dto find a passage to Asia
Asia, to see if Christopher Columbus traveled to the correct area. I think. But he ended up in Canada.
Jacques Cartier wanted to find a NW passage to Asia because in Asia, there was a lot of treasures, but even though Europe(where he was from) is right next to Asia, it took a long time to travel on land back when he lived.
Jacques Cartier sailed on behalf of King Francis I, in hopes of finding gold, spices and an alternate route to Asia. He kidnapped two natives and brought them back to France. King Francis was interested and sent Cartier back to America a second time. However, they arrived during harsh winter weather, and succeeded in angering the Iroquois tribes. Cartier sailed back to France empty-handed except for two Iroquois Chiefs he had captured.
