The correct option is D

In 1797, Bonaparte, commanding the army, defeated four Austrian generals whose troops were superior in number and forced Austria to sign a peace agreement. The resulting Treaty of Campoformio gave France control over most of northern Italy, as well as that of the Netherlands and the Rhine area. A secret clause promised to grant Venice to Austria. Bonaparte marched against Venice, occupying it and ending with more than 1,000 years of independence. That year, he organized the occupied territories in Italy in what became known as the Cisalpine Republic.
