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.

As an adult he moved to Cadiz and became a Squire, he was taught to hunt and handle weapons such as swords and Spanish guns that looked like rifles. Because of this he was recruited to fight against the Moors in Granada from 1487 to 1492. Nevertheless he was considered of a person without importance when he took his first expedition in 1493 on Christopher Columbus’s second voyage to the new world. This voyage started in the harbor of Cadiz and led to the Canary Islands, which is where the last touch of land was had before amassing the large body of water that is the Atlantic which eventually led to Espanola. This particular voyage took roughly twenty two days to cross the Atlantic. Aurelio Tio, a historian of the time from Puerto Rico describes Juan Ponce De Leon before he began his journey, “He [Juan Ponce] was a squire without a source of wealth, a veteran of the Conquest of Granada, in search of fame, honor, adventure, and fortune, like the
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,

The king tells Cabot that he will expect to discover new lands that no one has ever before. These include for example, cities, regions, islands, castle, etc. When discovering any town or land Cabot and his men will be able to put banners and signs to show that, that piece of land was the possession of The King Henry VII.

The skills and qualities required of Christopher Columbus in order for him to lead a safe and successful voyage to undiscovered and unexplored lands weighed heavily on him, as he was initially placed in a headship position in the course of the planning of the journey because he originated and entertained the idea of finding a passage to China through unmarked waters. With his assiduousness and persistence, his appeal and intelligence, he was able to convince the King and Queen of Spain to fund his trip.

Sir Francis Drake and his crew then sailed to the coasts of Chile and Peru raiding a unprotected Spanish merchant ship full of treasure.
This essay will explain why Samuel de Champlain was a better leader than Jacques Cartier. “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other,” said U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain were two French explorers who were the best of the best at what they did. Both men tried to tame the wild snowy beast that we now know as Canada. Both men were greatly respected explorers and leaders: one came to Canada tasked with finding routes through Canada to Asia, and the other man came to establish the fur trade. The debate about who was the better leader is still going on until today, but this essay will try and show that the best leader was Samuel de Champlain.
