Where did the British expeditions go?
John Cabot led the primary British day trip to the West. Like Columbus, he desired to discover a shorter and more secure course to the spice-generating international locations of the East. In 1497 Cabot landed in Newfoundland, Canada. Between 1576 and 1578, Martin Frobisher made 3 voyages to Canada and claimed a huge component for England. In 1580, Sir Francis Drake turned into the primary Englishman to sail across the world. His fleet of 5 ships sailed almost 57,936 kilometres (36,000 miles) in 34 months. James Cook made 3 voyages among 1768 and 1779. On the primary he charted New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. On the second one he determined several South Pacific islands and crossed the Antarctic Circle. On his final voyage he discovered Hawaii after which sailed up north to Alaska.
