Hello. What can you tell me about the Alps? 
 The pass was used by Napolean Bonaparte to cross 40,000 troops in 1800. 
 Can you tell me what does the name mean? 
 Yes, the name is defined as the area east of a line from Lake Constance and the Alpine Rhine Valley. 
 Oh I see. It is also associated with high mountains in that region? 
 That is correct. At least 82 Alpine summits reach 4,000 m. 
 Wow that is incredible! What can you tell me about the passes? 
 The Mont Cenis pass has been a major commercial and military road between Western Europe and Italy. 
 Interesting. Do you have anymore information about the passes? 
 Yes I have plenty. The Saint Gotthard Pass crosses from Central Switzerland to Ticino. Also, in 1882, the 15 km Saint Gotthard Railway was opened. 
 So very interesting. Please tell me another fact. 
 The Alps span from Austria to Slovenia in the east, to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and France in the west. 
 Thank you. You were a big help! 
 Absolutely! Thank you too.
