Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain sent John Cabot, an Italian explorer, to find the Northwest Passage. Cabot's expedition in 1497 aimed to discover a shorter route to Asia by sailing westward. His voyage led him to the coast of North America, although he did not find the passage he sought. Instead, his journey marked the beginning of European exploration in North America.
