Question 2:

1John Cabot was born in 1450.

2His birthplace was Genoa, Italy.

3He was born in Genoa, but in 1461 went to live in Venice.

4John Cabot died in 1499.

5He was unspecified, That is the reason of his death.

8Sailing north, Cabot named Cape Ray, St. George's Cape, and christened St. Pierre and Miquelon, which then with Langley formed three separate islands, the Trinity group.

9Cape Race, the last land seen, was named England's Cape.

10Early in June Cabot reached the east coast of Greenland, and as Fernandes was the first who had told him of this country he named it the Labrador's Land.

Question3: He is important to Canadian history because he find North America Italian navigator and discoverer of North America and named some of the islands.

Question4:He leave Europe because he wants to find China and Japan.

Question5:In 1497 Italian navigator John Cabot sailed from England to North America to find a Northwest Passage to Asia. Cabot explored the coasts of present-day Labrador and Newfoundland, becoming the first European to sight the land since the Vikings about 500 years earlier. Cabot’s voyage came on the heels of Christopher Columbus’s first two voyages to the Caribbean in 1492 and 1493.

Question6:

Question7: After the video, I thought a lot. I think John Cabot not only discovered the land he also got a strong power for Europeans. He found food and land successfully and the next was not fish or land. He found a kind of people who was called " America Indian". They are strong people who tried to break the restriction of them by Europeans. Because of that, they all died. It shows the powerful kindom that was able to forbidden the resist.
