Jacques Cartier undertook his voyages primarily to explore and claim new territories for France, driven by the search for a northwest passage to Asia and the lucrative trade opportunities in the New World. His expeditions in the 1530s led to the discovery of the St. Lawrence River, which he believed could provide access to valuable resources like gold and spices. Additionally, Cartier aimed to establish French sovereignty in North America and foster relations with Indigenous peoples. His voyages ultimately laid the groundwork for future French colonization in Canada.
