Trafalgar and Admiral Nelson (1805)
Study note
During the wars with France, Britain's navy fought combined French and Spanish fleets and won the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Admiral Nelson was in charge of the British fleet but was killed in the battle. Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is a monument to him, and his ship, HMS Victory, can still be visited in Portsmouth.
Memory tip: Trafalgar 1805. Nelson wins at sea but dies; Nelson's Column and HMS Victory remember him.
