The founding of Nouvelle France 

In 1534, the discoverer Jacques Cartier was sent by Frances I, the king of France, to explore the coast of North America. He was ordered to search for riches and a northwest passage to China. During his travels, he sailed past Newfoundland and onto the Saint Lawrence river, which he believed could be a passage to the west. It turned out it was not and Cartier returned home. On his second and third voyages he built fortresses to secure the colony of Nouvelle France ('New France'). It became a strategic location for the French to control the prosperous fur trade in North America. When Cartier asked the native Iroquois people what their country was called they told him their word for settlement: Kannata, which became Canada.
