Jacques Cartier's primary motives for exploration were to find a northwest passage to Asia and to establish French claims in the New World. He was also driven by the desire for wealth, particularly in the form of gold and other resources. Additionally, Cartier aimed to spread Christianity among Indigenous peoples and to enhance France's status as a maritime power. His expeditions laid the groundwork for future French colonization in North America.
