HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Medieval Switzerland

Switzerland was once known as the province of Helvetica, a province under the Roman Empire. Switzerland began to transform into an independent nation in 1291 AD when 3 independent cantons formed a league to resist the expansion of the Habsburg power. This defensive league, known as the Swiss League, has continued to grow through the years, & still exists today. At the close of the Thirty Years' War, in 1648, Switzerland was officially recognized as an independent nation. [BM] {UA}
