John Cabot traveled to the East Indies primarily to find a westward route to Asia, particularly for trade in valuable spices and silks. Sponsored by England, he aimed to establish an alternative to the overland routes controlled by other European powers. His exploration in 1497 ultimately led him to the coast of North America instead, paving the way for future exploration and colonization.
