Swiss History (global History in Chinese)
by (uk) Harriet D. S. Mackenzie
About This Novel
This book is the representative work of Professor Harriet D. S. Mackenzie. It relatively objectively explains Switzerland's strategic position as a country at the crossroads of Europe and the great power games, struggles and wars it has caused. It also systematically analyzes Switzerland's influence on the rise and fall of European powers. Why was Switzerland "hidden" in the Alps while exerting a decisive influence on the geopolitical pattern of Europe in the Middle Ages and modern times? Why did Swiss mercenaries become a "hot" brand in the Middle Ages? Why was Switzerland's independence and unity the result of a compromise between Austria and France? Why was Switzerland unable to avoid the pain of war as it moved towards modern times? How was Switzerland's neutral status established and guaranteed? This book provides detailed answers.
