In 1497, the Italian explorer John Cabot, sailing under the English flag, believed he had found Cathay, a term used in Europe to refer to China and its rich trade opportunities. Cabot reached the coast of North America, likely present-day Newfoundland, and thought he had arrived in the eastern regions of Asia. His voyage marked one of the earliest European explorations of the North American continent. However, he did not actually reach Cathay as he had hoped.
