John Cabot was hired by the British to seek a westward route to Asia and to explore new territories that could enhance trade and expand England's influence. His voyage in 1497 was part of England's broader ambitions to compete with other European powers in exploration and colonization. Cabot's discoveries, particularly the land he claimed for England in North America, laid the groundwork for future British claims in the New World.
