Product information "Book: Poul Arly Pedersen - Schweiz' historie"
According to tradition, three founding cantons in central Switzerland pledged eternal loyalty to one another in 1291, thereby laying the foundation for the first early Swiss Confederation, which over time developed into today’s federal state. A federal state with 26 sovereign cantons, four national languages, and diverse cultures.
Along the way, Switzerland experienced numerous wars, the Protestant Reformation, and occupation by France during the Napoleonic era. All of this eventually led to Switzerland’s independence as a neutral state.
“History of Switzerland” is an impressive account of the country’s formation and an outstanding reference work for anyone interested in Switzerland. The book also includes several contemporary topics, a historical overview, and a comprehensive index.
