		Trafalgar – Caldiero – Amstetten – Cape Ortegal – Dürenstein – Schöngrabern – Austerlitz
		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 200 events at the Royal Naval Museum
		On that day in 1805, a fleet of 27 British ships of the line, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, met and fought a combined French and Spanish fleet of 33 ships off the coast of South-West Spain, near the port of Cadiz.
		Arguably the Navy’s greatest hero, whose tactics and leadership had brought the glorious victory that cemented British mastery of the seas for the next 100 years, Nelson had been shot as he paced the quarterdeck of his flagship, HMS Victory, early in the battle by a sniper from the rigging of the French ship, Redoubtable.
		Such was Nelson’s fame at the time, created by his dashing victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798, that rejoicing in Britain at the news of Trafalgar came to be overshadowed by sadness at his death.

		His Trafalgar: The Nelson Touch provides a good overview of the battle, as well as the key events that lead up to it and the horrific storm that followed it.
		He provides a reasonable balance – he is sympathetic to Villeneuve, the French Admiral whom Napoleon blamed for the loss (forgetting everything that he, Napoleon, had done to contribute to the loss) – though he is clearly and Englishman and is proud of the achievements of the Royal Navy.

		When I first visited Trafalgar Square in March 1993, I was probably more interested to learn if there was a toy store in the vicinity than what the square and everything associated with Trafalgar meant for contemporary Britain.
		But in Britain, an island nation whose livelihood for so much of its history depended on the mastery of the seas, Trafalgar Day is not just the commemoration of a single important naval victory, but instead a celebration of the country and its rich naval heritage and tradition.
		In Britain, Trafalgar Day is not a reflection on the principles of British democracy.

	Trafalgar Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trafalgar Day is the celebration of the victory won by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson's British fleet over the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805.
		The massive casualties and upheaval had changed the general public perception of war as a source of glorious victories to a more sombre view of it as a tragedy, for which the newly instituted Armistice Day on November 11 was felt more appropriate.
		The victory is celebrated each year in Trafalgar (Gippsland) Australia in which the small town of 2,200 hold an annual Battle of Trafalgar Festival with the Trafalgar Day Ball held on the Friday or Saturday closest to 21 October each year.

		I was also rather disappointed to learn on Trafalgar Day that Prince William is to join the army.
		And there was me thinking that Trafalgar was fought in order to wipe out the La Royale off Cadiz because the cowardly little froggies refused to put to sea in the knowledge that the majority of the British fleet was out there waiting for them.
		In honor of Trafalgar Day 2005, I had an order of fish and chips, two pints of Newcastle and sung a stanza of "Spanish Ladies"; much to the chagrin of my fellow bar-mates.

		Today is Trafalgar Day - the 200th anniversary of the battle that is associated with the name of one man, Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), the British naval commander, whose statue dominates Trafalgar Square in London.
		His victories in the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar during the Napoleonic Wars caught the public imagination at the time, and he was considered a national hero, both in his own lifetime and in the Victorian period following his death.
		In the Battle of Trafalgar, on October 21, 1805, Nelson overwhelmingly defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets, leading the attack himself in his flagship Victory.
