2 VS The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a sea battle fought between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French Navy and Spanish Navy, during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815).

3 Place: At Cape Trafalgar off the South Western coast of Spain, south of Cadiz.
Size of the fleet: 32 British (25 ships of the line, 4 Frigates and smaller craft), 23 French and 15 Spanish (33 ships of the line, 7 Frigates and smaller craft). 4,000 troops including riflemen from the Tyrol were posted in small detachments through the French and Spanish Fleets.

4 Results Napoleon had already abandoned his plans of invasion before the battle and they were never revived. Napoleon's Empire was destroyed before the ambitious buildup could be completed.

5 Nelson became - and remains - Britain's greatest naval war hero, and an inspiration to the Royal Navy London's famous Trafalgar Square was named in honour of his victory, and Nelson's statue on Nelson's Column, finished in 1843, towers triumphantly over it. The statue of Lord Nelson in Bridgetown, Barbados, in what was also once known as Trafalgar Square, was erected in 1813.
