Probabbly the greatest Naval victory in the histroy of the UK...Admiral Nelson destroyed the French Navy - ending Napoleon's hopes of ever invading England and controling the seas - Admiral Nelson was shot and killed tragically at the end of the battle. His statue is standing tall in the middle of Trafalgar Square in London England ;) |

Seems like a pretty major battle, too bad it wasnt mentioned in my World History class, thank you Canadian Education. And you would think they'd at least teach you History associated with England. |
