To get from North America to Europe you would go East across the Atlantic ocean. If you were in Southern US, or further south, you would have to go North East across the Atlantic to get to Europe.
Sailing from Europe to South America, the most practical route would be across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic, from Europe to America.
No. It's all the way across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe on the continent of North America.
Yes many did.
The transatlantic telegraph cable.
The Atlantic Ocean "joins" America and Europe.
You could go either direction and get there. If you go east across North or South America, you will arrive at the Atlantic. If you go west across Eurasia or the Indian Ocean and Africa, you will arrive at the Atlantic as well.
East, if you were in Canada, and northeast from most of the USA and Mexico.
Atlantic Ocean is between N America and Europe
From the western shores of Europe, it took months to travel the Atlantic Ocean back to North America. If coming from central Europe, land travel also took months. Asians could have gone through Europe first and across the Atlantic Ocean from European ports, or they could have gone across the Pacific Ocean directly from Asian ports.
If you mean what direction- we have to ask- from WHERE? The Atlantic Ocean is East of the US, West of Europe, and North of South America/ Africa.
