True: John Cabot landed in North America and claimed the land in the name of king Henry VII of England.
John Cabot was a Genovese sailor and explorer at the service of the English crown.
In 1497 Cabot departed from the English port of Bristol. The objective was to reach the islands of Cipango in Asia navigating the Atlantic ocean through the North West. He had the permission and support of king Henry VII of England.
After a first failed voyage, Cabot landed in North America, in actual Canadian territories. Cape Bonavista is the officially recognized site of his arrival. However, the precise spot of landing is not sure. It could be somewhere in Terranova, Labrador, New Scotia, or Cape Breton island.
His voyage was one of the arguments for why the English crown claimed territories in North America.
