In 1805, Nelson led the Royal Navy at the Battle of Trafalgar against the French and Spanish navies. After being shot, he was mortally wounded and died three hours later. Despite his death, the battle was a major victory for the British and Nelson became known as one of Britain's greatest war heroes.
