John Cabot was influenced by the Age of Exploration, driven by the desire for new trade routes and the wealth of the New World. His Italian heritage and experience as a merchant in Venice exposed him to maritime navigation and the competitive spirit of exploration. Additionally, the support from English royalty, particularly King Henry VII, motivated Cabot to seek out new lands for England, culminating in his 1497 voyage that led to the discovery of parts of North America.
