Jacques Cartier sailed primarily for France in the early 16th century, seeking a westward route to Asia and the riches of the Spice and Silk Roads. His expeditions, particularly in 1534 and 1535, led to the exploration of the St. Lawrence River and the territories that would become Canada. Cartier aimed to find gold and other valuable resources, as well as to establish trade routes and territorial claims for France in the New World.
