What was Jacques Cartier's main journey?

Answer 1

Jacques Cartier's main journey occurred between 1534 and 1542 when he undertook three expeditions to North America, primarily exploring the St. Lawrence River and parts of present-day Canada. His first voyage in 1534 led to the discovery of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River, where he claimed the territory for France. Cartier's expeditions laid the groundwork for future French colonization in North America, although he did not establish a permanent settlement. He also interacted with Indigenous peoples, notably the St. Lawrence Iroquoian communities, and documented their cultures and lands.
