Jacques Cartier sought a passage to Cathay, primarily to access the lucrative trade routes and resources of Asia, particularly for spices and silks. During the 16th century, European nations were eager to find shorter and more efficient routes to Asia, bypassing intermediary traders. Cartier's expeditions were also driven by the desire for exploration and the potential for territorial claims in the New World. His voyages ultimately contributed to France's interests in North America rather than achieving a direct route to Asia.
