We are going to talk about how Cartier and Champlain made enemies of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois). Jack was credited with the European discovery of the entry to Canada the St. Lawrence River. While Champlain sailed from St. Malo, France in 1534 with two ships and a crew of sixty one men. Cartier was commissioned by King Francis l in France in 1534 to travel to North America to look for spices, gold, diamonds, and most important the passage to the Far East. Cartier travelled through the Strait of Belle Isle, south along the western coast of Newfoundland, and around the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Macdonald then became the first Prime Minister of Canada, while Cartier settled for Minister of Militia and Defense. In 1868, he went to England accompanied by William McDougall to negotiate the purchase of the several lands for Canada including Rupert’s Land, North-west Territory as well as the Hudson Bay Company. Another large impact that Cartier had for Canada was negotiating British Colombia into Confederation in 1871. Canada’s control for the western part of the country had been threatened when the U.S. had negotiated the purchase of Alaska from the Russians. Therefore, the Confederation was eager to officially include British Colombia as a part of Canada. He promised British Columbia that he would connect them to Eastern Canada by rail and thereby sealed the agreement. It was later that year when Cartier first began to show the symptoms of Bright’s Disease and one year later he decided to travel to London in the hope to find a cure. During his time there, his health did not improve and he died on May 20th,

He set sail for the New World in August of 1492. The first destination he set sail for was the Canary Islands. On the third day the rudder on one of the vessels was unshipped. Columbus

    Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the globe made him the best royally appointed naval captain of his time. Many saw Francis Drake as a pirate because he would plunder a lot of Spanish fleets, but he always considered himself as an explorer. Francis Drake’s life was nothing short of dangerous and the way he lived it was adventurously and without regret. Sir Francis Drake sets sail on his famous journey alongside four other ships. While many thought Francis Drake’s adventurous life was lived dangerously he also filled it with mystery, and there’s nothing more mysterious in his life than his death.

In 1534, King Francis I of France sent Cartier because of his previous voyages going to the eastern coast of North America. On the voyage, Cartier was sent to find gold and other riches, spices, and a route to Asia. Cartier sailed from Saint- Malo on April 20, 1534, with two ships and about 61 men. After 20 days smoothly crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Cartier entered the Strait of Belle Isle. Then, sailing toward the continent, Cartier assumed the existence of the Cabot Strait, going around the Magdalen Islands, passing the northern peak of Prince Edward Island, and putting him at Chaleur Bay.

They attacked the fort and seized supply ships, cutting off necessities to the colony. Champlain lived with the Hurons that winter, between foot of Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. During his stay, he composed one of the earliest and most detailed accounts of Native American life. When Champlain returned to France, he found himself embroiled in lawsuits and was unable to return to Quebec. He spent this time writing the stories of his voyages, complete with maps and illustrations. When he was reinstated as lieutenant, he returned to Canada with his wife, who was 30 years his junior. Champlain spent some time writing about his travels until, in 1632, the British and the French signed the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en- Laye, returning Quebec to the French. Champlain returned to be its governor. By this time,however, Champlain health was failing and he was forced to retire in 1633. Samuel De Champlain died in Quebec on Christmas Day in 1635. So after all his traveling his health was failing and there was nothing he could about it until he finally passed away on Christmas
