John Cabot, an Italian explorer working for England in the late 15th century, is best known for his voyages to North America. He sought to find a westward route to Asia, aiming to trade for valuable commodities like spices, silk, and precious metals. Instead, he encountered lands rich in Natural Resources, which eventually led to the fur trade and the establishment of fishing industries, particularly in the Atlantic. Cabot's exploration opened the door for future trade and colonization efforts by European powers.
