The Battle of Copenhagen, fought on August 2, 1801, was a naval conflict between the British Royal Navy and the Danish-Norwegian fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. The British, led by Admiral Sir Hyde Parker and Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, aimed to neutralize
the Danish fleet, which was allied with France and a potential threat to British maritime dominance. Despite fierce resistance from the Danes, Nelson's daring tactics and aggressive strategy led to a decisive British victory.
