How did Admiral Nelson defeat the French Spanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar?
Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar by using his brain! He knew the Spanish/French fleet was coming to take him out, so he decided to launch a preemptive strike. The Combined fleet outnumbered him by a large margin. He had 33 ships, and his enemies had 41, and all were very large ships. He had his ships approach the combined fleet from the side, in two seperate columns. He was counting on the ability to split the combines line of ships in to three pieces, where they could each individually be surrounded and destroyed. He approched the allied fleet, which was sloppily assembled into a long line, and had the two columns run at full speed towards the enemy. With the poor gunnary skills of the allied ships, British casulties were few in the approach. Nelson led the first column which split the fleet almost in two, with his second in command runnding the secon column to cut off the rear of the fleet. The middle part was surounded and was worn down by the British. As the French and Spanish ships started sinking or surrendering, the british started ganging up on the few ships left. By that night, almost all of the entire allied fleed had either sank or surrendered. In the end, Nelson used his 33 ships and 17,000 men to conquor a superior force of 41 ships and 30,000 men. He used tactics and leveraged the advantages to target the enemies weaknesses. It is a true shame that he died at the end of the battle, for he was a brilliant Admiral.
