The Battle of Trafalgar was a navy battle between the British Royal Navy and the combined forces of the French and Spanish Navy. The British ships were led by Admiral Lord Nelson and won the battle, even with a smaller force. The French-Spanish fleet lost 22 of its ships, while the British Navy lost none. The battle also ended France plance for invading England. Lord Nelson however, lost his life when he was shot by a French Musketeer. He is considered as one of Britains greates war heros. Some of his last words were "Hardy, I do believe they have done it at last… my backbone is shot through". He was transported back to England where he is burried.
