Old Swiss Confederacy
The Old Swiss Confederacy was a loose union of small independent states, initially within the Holy Roman Empire, and the precursor of modern Switzerland. It formed in central Switzerland at the end of the 13th century and grew to include Zürich and Bern. The French invasion of 1798 replaced it with the Helvetic Republic.
