because he had to search for new land
During Jacques Cartier's first voyage to the New World, he discovered the Acadian Peninsula, in present-day New Brunswick, as well as Gaspé, Anticosti Island, and the Magdeline Islands, in present-day Québec. Cartier also discovered that the Isle of Newfoundland was, in fact, an island.
Jacques Cartier's voyages to the New World were commissioned by King Francis I of France. He was the first European to explore the interior of North America, and everything he found was claimed for France.
Yes Jacques Cartier believed that the world was round.
Jacques Cartier's first exploratory voyage to the New World occurred in 1534. He made two subsequent voyages in 1535-36 and 1541-41, spending both winters near what is now Quebec City.
Jacques Cartier did not receive any awards after his voyages. His expeditions in the 16th century were primarily funded by the French monarchy to explore and claim territories in the New World, rather than for personal recognition or accolades.
