Did the triangle trade take place over Atlantic Ocean?

Yes, the Atlantic Ocean is where the majority of the Triangle Trade occurred. The Triangle Trade included three legs or stages. The first stage or leg involved ships leaving Europe and sailing to Africa, where they would trade manufactured goods for enslaved African people. The second leg involved the ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean or North America, where the enslaved African people were sold. The third and final leg involved the ships returning to Europe with raw materials like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. The Triangle Trade was also known as the Transatlantic Slave Trade because the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, known as the Middle Passage, was the central leg of the journey.
