The Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) was a naval engagement between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies during the War of the Third Coalition (August–December 1805) of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815).
The British victory at Trafalgar confirmed the naval supremacy Britain had established during the eighteenth century and victory at Trafalgar was achieved in part through Nelson’s departure from prevailing naval tactical orthodoxy.
