When Jacques Cartier arrived in the Americas in 1534, he was seeking a northwest passage to Asia, hoping to find a direct route to the valuable spice and silk markets. He was also in search of gold and other riches, driven by the stories of wealth in the New World. Additionally, Cartier aimed to claim new territories for France and to establish trade relations with indigenous peoples. His explorations ultimately laid the groundwork for French colonization in North America.
