Jacques Cartier was a French explorer credited with claiming Canada for France in the 16th century. His voyages from 1534 to 1542 helped map the St. Lawrence River and laid the groundwork for future French colonization in North America. Cartier's interactions with Indigenous peoples and his reports on the land and resources sparked European interest in the region, significantly influencing the History of Canada and its development. His legacy continues to be recognized in Canadian culture and history.
