Answer 1

Jacques Cartier first set sail for the New World in 1534, when King Francis I of France commissioned a voyage to search for gold, spices and a Northwest route to Asia. With two ships and 61 men, Cartier explored the St. Lawrence Bay and returned to France with two Native Americans as trophies for the king. A pleased King Francis sent Cartier back the following year with more ships and a bigger crew. Guided by the same two Native Americans he had seized, Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River as far as modern-day Quebec and established a base near a friendly Iroquois village, where his party camped when winter set in. In September, Cartier led a short expedition to what would become Montreal.
