History of Switzerland – Introductory tour

In modern times, Switzerland has remained untouched by wars. But it was not always so. For centuries, Swiss mercenaries fought all over Europe. What role did they play in Swiss politics? How did the modern federal state come into being? The tour illustrates Swiss history from the Middle Ages to the present day. If requested, special emphasis can be placed on one of three topics – politics, war, or economics.
