Robert de La Salle explored for France. He is best known for his expeditions in North America, particularly his exploration of the Mississippi River and the surrounding regions in the late 17th century. La Salle claimed vast territories for France, including parts of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River basin, which he named Louisiana in honor of King Louis XIV.
