What was nelsons plan for the battle of trafalger?

Admiral Horatio Nelson's plan for the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 involved a bold and unconventional tactic of attacking the combined French and Spanish fleets in two columns, rather than a traditional line approach. He aimed to break the enemy's line, allowing his ships to engage in close combat, where British naval superiority in training and gunnery could be maximized. Nelson signaled his famous message, "England expects that every man will do his duty," to inspire his crew before the decisive confrontation. This strategy ultimately led to a significant British victory, ensuring naval dominance for years to come.
