was too weak to mount an effective battle against the Romans(:
Hannibal's elephants were part of his expeditionary force with which he invaded Italy. Hannibal lost most, if not all, his elephants when he crossed the Alps in the snowy winter. This did not stop him from carrying out his invasion. He fought against the forces of the Romans and their Italian allies. He routed them four times. However, his invasion eventually failed.
Gaul is France. The mountains between France and Spain are the Pyrenees. However I thought Hannibal was supposed to have taken the elephants across the Alps.

Hannibal did not attempt to attack the City of Rome - he defeated the Roman army three times in Italy. The elephants he brought from Spain mostly died en route and so were not used in the battles.
Hannibal Barca was the general, but not by elephant - they walked. There were war elephants in the army, but they only carried their drivers.
Hannibal
Hannibal did not land in Spain. It was his father who landed in Spain and conquered southern Spain
Hannibal was only in his early 20s when he went to Spain. He became king at the death of his father when he was just 18.
The Military leader Hannibal was born in Carthage, now Spain.
Hannibal sought to surprise the Romans with a most daring and risky move. He led his army on a long trek from Spain across France and through the alps.
