Gamla schweiziska edsförbundet
Also known as Swiss Confederation, Switzerland
confederation of cantons (1291-1798)
AI overview
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.

Det gamla schweiziska edsförbundet (modern tyska: Alte Eidgenossenschaft) var föregångare till dagens moderna Schweiz. Det var en löst sammanhållen federation av i oberoende medlemsstater, som existerade från slutet av 1200-talet eller början av 1300-talet till 1798, när det invaderades av den Franska republiken, som omvandlade det till den kortlivade Helvetiska republiken.
