Also known as Swiss Confederation, Switzerland
confederation of cantons (1291-1798)
The Old Swiss Confederacy was a loose alliance of independent regions called cantons that banded together starting in 1291, gradually expanding until it dissolved in 1798. It matters because it represents an early example of cantons choosing to cooperate for mutual defense and trade while maintaining their own independence, laying important groundwork for the structure of Switzerland as it exists today.
