The Battle of Trafalgar (/trə'fælɡər/, formerly /træfəl'ɡɑr/), fought on 21 October 1805, was part of the War of the Third Coalition assembled by Britain against France.
Although the victory at Trafalgar was typically given as the reason at the time, modern analysis by historians such as Paul Kennedy suggests that relative economic strength was a more important underlying cause of British naval mastery.

Trafalgar Square is a large public square in London commemorating Lord Horatio Nelson's victory against Napoleon's navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Trafalgar Square is also traditionally the scene of lively celebrations for Londoners on New Years Eve, though an inceasingly heavy police presence has meant that some antics (drunks leaping into the fountains) have all but disappeared.
More recently, Trafalgar Square has served as an outdoor venue for concerts and VIP appearances, courtesy of the Mayor of London's Office, which is keen to see Londoners use their public spaces better.

The Bee Gees had entered the early '70s with a roaring success in the guise of "Lonely Days" and its accompanying album, which established their sound as a softer pop variant on the Moody Blues ' brand of progressive rock.
Trafalgar was also the handsomest and most elaborately designed of their albums, its cover reprinting Pocock's painting "The Battle of Trafalgar" and the interior gatefold containing a shot of the brothers enacting the scene of the death of Lord Nelson.
It all imparted the sense of a concept album, though nothing in the music said so, except perhaps the finale, "Walking Back to Waterloo." Despite the hit single, the album showed the limits of the Bee Gees '; talents as songwriters and of their appeal as album artists.

While there were battle-hardened veterans of proven ability among the Trafalgar captains, it has to be stressed that many were not, and that when Nelson took command of the fleet three weeks before the battle, he had many captains he hardly knew.
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.

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'.

 Sempa | Trafalgar and the Balance of Power
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.
