	2005 Trafalgar Bicentenary in Spain
		The destruction wrought upon the Spanish fleet at Trafalgar directly triggered a series of consequences which led to the loss of the colonies in the Americas, and Spain's slump from the status of world superpower.
		The brief mentions of Trafalgar in Spanish school textbooks mostly blame the French admiral, Villeneuve, whose bungled command of the French-Spanish fleet not only overlooked the talents of the Spanish admirals and the potency of their fleet, but even scorned the valour of their sailors.
		At Cape Trafalgar itself - where up till now the only reminder of the battle has been the name of a local beach, 'The Beach of the Dead', in gruesome reference to the sailors' bodies washed ashore – there is to be built a monument to 'Peace and Harmony'.

		THE BATTLE OFF CAPE TRAFALGAR on October 21, 1805, was the denouement of almost 50 years of naval warfare between the French and British.

		Trafalgar was the logical outcome of 15 years of British naval dominance.

		John Pasco, Nelson's signal lieutenant at Trafalgar, and now best known for his signal ‘England expects that every man will do his duty’ raised before the battle, was the son of a caulker in Plymouth Dockyard.
		Public expectations frequently demanded the impossible, for the particular, advantageous Trafalgar circumstances could never be replicated, and brave men like Sir Christopher Cradock led their crews to their deaths attempting to live up to the spirit of Nelson against the odds.

		Trafalgar was one of those rare battles that truly affected significantly the course of world history.
		One year after Trafalgar, Fisher Ames wrote that "a peace…that should humble England, and withdraw her navy from any further opposition to [Napoleon’s] arms, would give the civilized world a master" with "the weight and ignominy of a new Roman dominion."
		Perhaps fortunately for the United States and the world, the British victory at Trafalgar denied to Napoleon the one missing element of his plan for world hegemony — supremacy at sea.
