His inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics brought about a number of decisive British naval victories, particularly during the \u003c\/span\u003eNapoleonic Wars\u003cspan\u003e. He was wounded in combat, losing sight in one eye in \u003c\/span\u003eCorsica\u003cspan\u003e at the age of 35, and most of one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer \u003c\/span\u003eSanta Cruz de Tenerife\u003cspan\u003e when he was 38. He was fatally shot during his victory at the \u003c\/span\u003eBattle of Trafalgar\u003cspan\u003e in 1805\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNelson was born into a moderately prosperous\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNorfolk\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efamily and joined the navy through the influence of his uncle,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMaurice Suckling, a high-ranking naval officer. Nelson rose rapidly through the ranks and served with leading naval commanders of the period before obtaining his own command at the age of 20 in 1778. He developed a reputation for personal valour and firm grasp of tactics, but suffered periods of illness and unemployment after the end of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAmerican War of Independence. The outbreak of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrench Revolutionary Wars\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eallowed Nelson to return to service, where he was particularly active in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMediterranean. He fought in several minor engagements off\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eToulon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand was important in the capture of Corsica and subsequent diplomatic duties with the Italian states. In 1797, he distinguished himself while in command of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHMS \u003ci\u003eCaptain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eat the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBattle of Cape St Vincent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after that battle, Nelson took part in the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the attack failed and he was badly wounded, losing his right arm, and was forced to return to England to recuperate. The following year he won a decisive victory over the French at the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBattle of the Nile\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand remained in the Mediterranean to support the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKingdom of Naples\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eagainst a French invasion. In 1801 he was dispatched to the Baltic and won another victory, this time over the Danes at the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBattle of Copenhagen. He commanded the blockade of the French and Spanish fleets at Toulon and, after their escape, chased them to the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWest Indies\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand back but failed to bring them to battle.

On 21 October 1805, the Franco-Spanish fleet came out of port, and Nelson's fleet engaged them at the Battle of Trafalgar. The battle became one of Britain's greatest naval victories, but Nelson, aboard\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHMS \u003ci\u003eVictory\u003c\/i\u003e, was fatally wounded by a French sharpshooter. His body was brought back to England where he was accorded a state funeral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNelson's death at Trafalgar secured his position as one of Britain's most heroic figures. His signal just prior to the commencement of the battle, \"England expects that every man will do his duty\", is regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced.
