When we think of Switzerland, we think of chocolate, cuckoo clocks, watches, skiing and wonderful scenery, amongst other things. Switzerland is divided into 3 cantons each bordering with different countries where different languages are spoken; Italian, French and German.
Switzerland has remained neutral since the formation of the federal state in 1848, the last war was in 1847, it was an internal war between Catholics and Protestants, it lasted less then a month and there were less then 100 casualties.
During world II the Germans prepared detailed invasion plans and the country’s trade was blockaded by both the Allies and the German Axis with each party exerting pressure not to trade with the other, but Switzerland was never attacked and managed to remain neutral.
After the war Switzerland prospered greatly and has played a great role in many United Nations and international organizations. It is a great holiday destinations both in summer and winter. Skiing is very popular with guaranteed snow in many Alpine resorts; one of the most popular is Zermat near the Matterhorn.
