Horatio Nelson was the commander of the English Fleet at the time of the battle. Napoleon was the Emporer of France at the time. England was fighting Napoleon using a strategy of blockading the parts of Europe controlled by the French. At the time of the battle, Spain was allied with the French. The combined Spanish/French fleet attempted to sail out and escape the blockade. Nelson went after them to try and cripple the French navy.
One note. The usual form of naval battle was to have the "ships of the line", two and three decker ships carrying 74 or more cannon, to line up each fleet with its ships in line. The two fleets would then sail alongside each other, firing away until one of the fleets would break off. Usually this would result in a few ships lost, but rarely involved a decisive win that would disable the loser.
Nelso developed a daring strategy for this battle. He put his fleet into two lines, each sailing parallel to each other. He then approached the French/Spanish line at a perpindicular or 90 degree angle. This left his fleet unable to respond effectively to the broadsides of his enemy as his lines approached. But once the English fleet reached the enemy fleet, the table was turned. He cut the French/Spanish fleet in half, and proceeded to turn and sail alongside the enemy. Now half the French fleet was faced with taking on the bulk of the English fleet. Nelson was able to maul the enemy. Unfortunately, Nelson was struck by a sniper's bullet during the battle, and died later that night. But he succeeded in smashing any hope that Napoleon had to rival the English at sea. After Trafalgar, Napoleon continued to dominate land battles for some years, but the English were never seriously challenged at sea again through the Napoleonic wars. To summarize, it's the use of a daring strategy to force a definitive outcome that makes the Battle of Trafalgar so important, as well as the issue of settling who would control the seas for the next 10 years of war.
