When John Cabot arrived in North America in 1497, Christopher Columbus was in the midst of his explorations of the Caribbean, having completed his first voyage in 1492 and made subsequent trips in 1493 and 1498. Columbus was primarily focused on establishing Spanish settlements and seeking gold and other resources in the islands he encountered, such as Hispaniola and Cuba. His voyages were aimed at claiming new territories for Spain, while Cabot was exploring for England, marking a significant moment in the competition for exploration and colonization in the New World.
