Claims

  1. En restant à l'écart de la guerre de Trente Ans (1618-1648), la Confédération posa les bases de la neutralité comme principe directeur de sa politique étrangère.
    "the confederated cantons succeeded in staying out of the Thirty Years' War (1618–48), which devastated large parts of Europe. This success was the foundation for the development of the maxim of neutrality in Swiss foreign policy."
