Cambridge Concise Histories synopsis
Despite its location in the heart of Europe and its essential European character, Swiss history is often ignored in the English-speaking world. This historic and surprising history of Switzerland follows the historical and cultural development of this wonderful and neglected European country from the end of the Dark Ages to the present.
The authors focus on the early confederation in the Middle Ages. The religious divisions that threatened it after 1500 and its astonishing stay among the European kingdoms.
The subsequent disturbances of the French revolution and conquest, which continued until the Federal Constitution of 1848; the test of the Swiss nation during the late nineteenth century, then two world wars and the depression of the 1930s. Unprecedented economic and social growth and political success in the post-war era.
The book ends with a discussion of contemporary challenges, which are often shared with neighbors, and which form the country today.
