Switzerland, offilicially Confoederatio Helvetica (Latin); Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft (German); Confédération suisse (French); Confederazione Svizzera (Italian) and Confederaziun svizra (Romansh) (The Swiss Confederation) is a Direct Democracy and a Federal Parliamentary Republic. It's capital is Berne and the largest city (and financial centre) is Zürich. The country has four official languages: German; French; Italian and Romansh which reflect Switzerland's position as a land-locked country in the heart of Europe. Switerland lies at the southern border of Western Europe and the historical entity of Central Europe. It represents one of the original centres of Celtic civilization, with the main tribe being the Helvetii. From the fourth century CE western Switzerland became part of the Burgundian kingdom and the eastern part was assimilated to the kindgoms of the Alemanni. By the seventh century Switzerland had come under Frankish hagemony. This led to Switzerland becoming a part of the Holy Roman Empire (and thus a part of Central Europe. The original Swiss Confederacy was an alliance among the valley communities of the central Alps. The Confederacy facilitated management of common interests (free trade) and ensured peace on the important mountain trade routes. The Federal Charter of 1291 agreed between the rural communes of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden is considered the confederacy's founding document. The confederacy remained essentially autonomous until 1789 when the armies of the French Revolution conquered Switzerland and imposed a new unified constitution. When war broke out between France and its rivals, Russian and Austrian forces invaded Switzerland and this resulted in the 1803 Act of Mediation which largely restored Swiss autonomy and introduced a Confederation of 19 cantons. In 1815 the Congress of Vienna fully re-established Swiss independence and the European powers agreed to permanently recognise Swiss neutrality. The treaty marked the last time that Switzerland fought in an international conflict. The treaty also allowed Switzerland to increase its territory, with the admission of the cantons of Valais, Neuchâtel and Geneva — this was also the last time Switzerland's territory expanded. In 1920, Switzerland joined the League of Nations, and in 1963 the Council of Europe. Today, Switzerland is one of the world's richest countries and Switzerland ranks 15th in the world (when GDP is adjusted for purchasing power parity). Swiss cuisine has strong influences from German, French and Italian cookery and much of Swiss cooking is related to the cuisines of the countries neighbouring the cantons. |
