Jacques Cartier, a French explorer in the 16th century, was primarily interested in exploration, trade, and the search for a northwest passage to Asia. He sought to establish new trade routes and expand French influence in the New World, particularly in North America. Cartier was also intrigued by the indigenous cultures he encountered, documenting their ways of life and interactions with European settlers. His expeditions laid the groundwork for France's later claims in Canada.
