Answer 2

A: Inaccurate. Napoleon entered Italy in 1796 closer to the coast than the Alps. However, the mountains could be said to have protected his northern flank.

B: True in 1940 (against Germany - Operation Sealion). Not true in 1066 (Invasion by William the Conquerer, Battle of Hastings)

C: Corsica is in the Med but isn't small. Land area is 8,680 km², fourth largest after Sicily, Sardinia and Cyprus.

D: Wrong. The objective was to return boundaries to the situation that existed before the Napoleonic Wars.

E: Almost true, but don't forget Gibraltar.
