Napoleonic Wars

Series of European wars (1803–15) conducted by Napoleon I of France against an alliance of Britain, the German states, Spain, Portugal, and Russia, following the Revolutionary Wars, and aiming for French conquest of Europe; see France: history 1515–1815, Napoleonic Wars. At one time nearly all of Europe was under Napoleon's domination. He was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Admiral Horatio Nelson's victory over a combined French and Spanish fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805) confirmed British naval supremacy during the wars.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the annual cost of the British army was between 60% and 90% of total government income.
