UMMM.... ACTUALLY : Champlain wanted to be an explorer because his father was. and he was an explorer because the King of France sent him to claim lands in the new world which was North America and Canada

Actually, you both are quite right. His uncle and father was explorers and Samuel De Champlain wanted to become just like them. They inspired him to to become an explorer. He also wanted to support France since it was a poor country with no way to gain wealth until Samuel De Champlain went to Quebec. He was actually a geographer for King Henry IV.
