Musteen (military history, US Military Academy, West Point) examines the role of Gibraltar in British strategy during the Napoleonic Wars, from 1793-1815. He describes how this period was a turning point in the military and naval history of Gibraltar, as it was converted from a defensive to offensive role for the British army and was combined with its strategic value for the Royal Navy. He briefly explains the history of Gibraltar, then discusses how its base allowed Horatio Nelson to achieve victories at the Nile and Trafalgar, and how it served as the base of secret negotiations that brought Spain to the British side during the Peninsular War.
