In the summer of 1805, Napoleon Bonaparte initiated the great plan for the invasion of the island nation that dared defy him: Great Britain. To begin this invasion, the combined French and Spanish fleets, under the command of Pierre-Charles Villeneuve, sailed from Cádiz, Spain, to assist in controlling the English Channel. British Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson sailed with a newly constructed fleet to meet this threat head-on, and on the morning of October 21, the fleets met to decide the fate of the seas. Despite fighting against a numerically larger fleet, Nelson’s strategy of splitting the Franco-Spanish battle line worked, dealing Napoleon one of his greatest setbacks. On his deathbed after the battle, Nelson famously proclaimed, “Thank God, I have done my duty.” A victory that changed the trajectory of the Napoleonic Wars, and by extension, world history.
