Cartier was a french explorer. He had many voyages in his life, his voyage allowing him to claim land that would be Canada is his best voyage. But, he did have more. His first voyage was to North America in 1534 when King Francis the first sent him on a trip to North America. His orders was to search for gold and other riches and a passage to Asia. He sailed with two Ships and sixty-one men. He arrived twenty days later and started exploring the west coast of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. Then continued through the St. Lawrence River. When returning back to France, his King was impressed about what he had done. So, the king sent Cartier with three ships and 110 men back to North America for his second voyage. Cartier and his crew
On the contrary, Cartier was determined and believe in himself that he could make it through this journey without dieing and hoping to find a new path too gold and spices. Although in the end Cartier did not find a new path too gold and spices, he sailed many new parts of north america like Gaspè in which he met an Iroquois chief and made many valuable trades with this chief. Cartier also raised a 9 foot cross in the honor of his king while he was in Gaspè. These two pieces of evidence prove that Cartier was a determined explorer. In the end of his magnificent years of sailing Cartier was a very determined explorer who knew he could get anything done.
The legacy of Christopher Columbus has been a divisive topic for many years. Indeed, according to Laurence Bergreen, the Columbian legacy has been divisive since the time of his voyages. In an excerpt from his book Columbus: The Four Voyages, Laurence Bergreen juxtaposes his extensive historical knowledge with a deep understanding of modern American culture to demonstrate that, for all his successes and failures, Columbus is significant as a reminder that we are all deeply complex and contradictory beings.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator, colonizer, and citizen of the Republic of Genoa. Under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean.
Hello, I am Jacques Cartier and I am a French explore. I was born on December 31, 1491 in saint-malo, Brittany, France. I married Catherine Des Granches in May 1520 and never had children. We moved to Dieppe where I had met Giovanni da Verrazzano. In 1524 the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano was directed to make plans to explore an area around Florida and in Terranova, the "New Land" and i accompanied him on the expedition and explored the northeast coast of North America. But here is why we had to explore. After Columbus landed in the Western Hemisphere in 1492, European rulers sent explorers across the Atlantic to the Americas to claim territory and discover riches. The Spanish, Portuguese, English, Dutch and French all wanted a piece of the
Cartier was attracted to the grand eel fishery and established relationships with the St. Lawrence Iroquoians.

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,

Even though Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain had huge impacts on history and Eastern Canada to this day, which one of them made a larger impact to discovery and exploration. One perspective on this issue is that Cartier was more important because he was the first to explore the St. Lawrence. Another perspective is that Champlain was more important as he set up many colonies and discovered many first nation ethnic groups. Jacques Cartier was the first explorer to travel and map the St. Lawrence, a river with massive importance to Eastern Canada in the times of the fur trade to today. He also made two separate journeys, discovering many first nation groups along the way.
Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 on a mission to find an all water route to the western Indies, instead Columbus reached North America where he continued his search for gold and trade.

He was told to look of gold, riches, spices, and a new way to Asia. He set sail on April 20, 1534. He took 2 ships and 60 men. He explored the west coast of Newfoundland and found Prince Edward Island.
The reason why he was traveling around North America, was because he was doing service for a King back in France. This king’s name was King Francis I, which I find kind of ironic since he is the king of France and his name is Francis. But the main
On April 20, 1534,Cartier set sail, hoping to discover a western passage to Asia. It took him twenty days to sail across the ocean. When he first came to canada he explored parts of Newfoundland.

The cross was a clear raised confusion among the Iroquois.Eventually
