Occurring in October of 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar was significant for several reasons. It is often described as contributing to Napoleon's decision to forego an invasion of Great Britain, since control of the seas remained in British hands. Undeniably, it contributed to the already substantial reputation of British naval skill while providing the British and their allies with further motivation to remain in the fight against the imposing force of Imperial France.
