Hello everybody, we are going to talk about one of the most famous battles in the British royal history, the Battle of Trafalgar.

2
00:00:08,939 --> 00:00:12,939
The battle was started by the Old River League between France and Great Britain.

3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:22,780
It was fought between France and Spain and the British fleet.

4
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:30,460
and the British fleet. It took place on 21 October 1805 during the Napoleonic War because

5
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:35,679
of Napoleon's ambition to dominate all of Europe. The British fleet was commanded by

6
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:44,159
Mayor Horatio Nolson with 27 ships and 17,000 crewmen and marines. And the combined fleet

7
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:51,560
of France and Spain was commanded by Clairviginia with 33 ships, 15 from Spain and 17 from France.

8
00:00:52,780 --> 00:01:01,780
The British fleet was in a very poor condition and lacking the numerical superiority, but Nelson relied on the skills and experience of his soldiers.

9
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:07,780
The battle started when Nelson started attacking to the Franco-Spanish fleet in Cape Trafalgar.

10
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:14,780
Villeneuve ordered his fleet to form a single line while Nelson ordered his fleet to form two squadrons.

11
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:21,400
Luckily for the British fleet, the Franco-Spanish fleet was in a very vulnerable position to

12
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,400
manage, with a semi-secular formation.

13
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,400
France and Spain lost the battle.

14
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:32,719
The British navy, which was the weakest one, but BGNU designed a very bad strategy, so

15
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:37,140
the British won the battle with less persons and less votes.

16
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:42,219
It was a mistake that the French designed the strategy, because they had very very few

17
00:01:42,219 --> 00:01:47,900
experiences and they wanted to have an excellent point. Franco-Spanish Navy had

18
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:54,120
huge number of deaths while the British Navy had very very few casualties.

19
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,079
Consequences. The consequences for France, United Kingdom and Spain were

20
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:04,459
different. The principal consequences for France was a hard strike to their

21
00:02:04,459 --> 00:02:15,460
and they wanted to have a hard strike to De Mora, and they decided not to invade Great Britain

22
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:23,460
and impose commercial restrictions to other countries. They forbid trading with other countries.

23
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:30,460
Few time later, France increases De Mora, winning the Austerlitz battle,

24
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:36,539
battle and they celebrated it winning the arch of truth in paris

25
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:46,300
in the castle of united kingdom this battle was the beginning of of british superior superiority

26
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:52,620
in seas but it will end with the first world war

27
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:59,620
British people, which were masters in celebrating victories and holding defeats,

28
00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:04,620
they built the Trafalgar Square in London.

29
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:10,620
In the case of Spain, it was a hard strike to deny.

30
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:18,620
Lost six boats, among them La Santísima Trinidad, which was the most important boat in the fleet.

31
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:23,620
But it wasn't the appropriate boat where was the place bought.

32
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:27,620
Bye and thank you for your attention. Bye bye.
