Answer 1

Giovanni da Verrazzano's voyages were undertaken primarily to explore and map the eastern coast of North America for France. Commissioned by King Francis I, Verrazzano sought a northwest passage to Asia and to establish French claims in the New World. His expeditions, notably in 1524, led to the discovery of areas that would become New York Harbor and the coastal regions of the United States, enhancing European knowledge of the continent's geography.
