1801 battle of the War of the Second Coalition and the English Wars

In the Battle of Copenhagen, also known as the First Battle of Copenhagen to distinguish it from the Second Battle of Copenhagen in 1807, a British naval fleet defeated a smaller force of the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy anchored near Copenhagen on 2 April 1801. The battle came about over British fears that the powerful Danish fleet would ally with France, and a breakdown in diplomatic communications on both sides.
