Cartier's first mission, led by Jacques Cartier in 1534, was to explore the New World and seek a northwest passage to Asia. He was commissioned by King Francis I of France and aimed to establish trade routes and claim territories for France. During this expedition, Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River and made contact with Indigenous peoples, laying the groundwork for future French colonization in North America.
