A trade route in the Atlantic Ocean where goods and weapons were traded for slaves.
The Atlantic trade routes were called the triangular trade because it involved three main stops or trading points: Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Goods like raw materials, slaves, and manufactured goods were exchanged among these regions in a triangular pattern.

Triangular trade
The most inhuman part of the triangular trade was the middle passage, in which slaves were carried from Africa to the New World.
The reason it was called this was because of the trade route used for slavery. Ships went to Africa to pick up slaves from local tribes then travelled to America to sell the slaves to plantation where they picked up crops such as tobacco & sugar, then crossed the Atlantic again to sell the goods in London. If you plot these 3 countries and the route travelled on a map you create a triangle. Hence the Golden Triangle or triangle trade route.
The starting point of the triangular trade route was Europe, where goods such as guns, cloth, and alcohol were transported to Africa.
