The history of Switzerland begins with Julius Caesar and his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars. After the Great Invasions, which outlined the linguistic borders of the country, alliances were formed between small states in the Middle Ages, between 1291 and 1332, to form the Confederation of the Three Cantons, the first stage in the formation of the Swiss Confederation. Then the Confederation of the Eight Cantons was formed through successive defensive alliances until 1481. During the following centuries, the Confederation of the 13 cantons was gradually built and acquired definitive international recognition in 1648. Divided and reorganized into the Helvetic Republic during its occupation by revolutionary France, Switzerland obtained federal status from Bonaparte in 1803. Switzerland then grew to twenty-two cantons before regaining full sovereignty in 1815.Professional in the sale (and passionate) of historical and geographical engravings, I will ship your purchase with the greatest care as I myself would like to receive it.
