Trafalgar | A World at War (Ep 1)

Was the Battle of Trafalgar the most decisive battle of the 19th century? Join Tom and Dominic as they embark on a three part series discussing this incredible conflict between the British Royal Navy and combined fleets of the French and Spanish navies. In this episode they discuss: the distrust between the standing army and the Royal Navy; technology used for the first time during Trafalgar; and the martyr-like status of Horatio Nelson, who led the British to victory.
