During the Battle of Trafalgar, which countries did Britain fight against?
Correct Answer: France and Spain
At the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, the British Royal Navy under Admiral Lord Nelson defeated the combined fleets of France and Spain off the south-west coast of Spain, near Cape Trafalgar.
The victory was decisive — it ended Napoleon's plans to invade Britain and established British naval supremacy for over a century. Nelson was killed during the battle and is commemorated by Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London. The battle is one of the most famous naval engagements in history.
