In a way, it is the highest mountain it the world. It is the highest freestanding. What that means is the it is the highest when measured from the base to the peak. The peaks of such mountains as Mt. Everest are higher in terms of height above sea level. However, such mountains are located in high elevations to begin with. Kilimanjaro rises 5,882 m or 19,298 ft from its base. Its peak is 5,895 m or 19,341 ft above sea level.

Mont Blanc is in the Alps
The Alps are a complex system of lower fold mountains and high crystalline massifs. The lower mountains are largely limestone and other sedimentary rocks, while the higher peaks are dolomite.
The Alps were formed as a result of pressure exerted against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward moving African landmass. The squeezing action formed the folds that rose out of the sea and pushed northward, often breaking and sliding one over the other to form gigantic thrust faults.
Later this mass was gouged out by ice/ glaciers to form the valleys where most of the population of the zone now live
