The only downside with a super quick history of Switzerland is you didn’t get to say…”WAR!” ;)

Even though they had PLENTY of wars...

Awesome as always Mr History!!!

One of my favorite historical facts about swiss mercenaries is the massacre of the swiss guards who died defending the Palais des Tuileries during the french revolution. A rock relief above a pond commemorates that in Lucerne. It depicts a dying lion, fatally wounded by a lance, with the inscription "Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti" (To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss).

Late night Mr History!!!

There must be a global capital and I call on Switzerland to be that Capitol

It's funny, even though the Swiss are neutral today, they kicked a$$ back in the day.

Will you be doing a video on the United Kingdom or will that not be happening since you’ve done every country it’s composed of save for Wales? Also great video! Am very excited for future ones!

And don't forget their excellent swiss army knives! 🔪🇨🇭

I must come to visit this country . Thank s Mr History.

Nice touch on the chocolate😂

They’ll Swiss also invented Obamacare by having mandatory private insurance for all inhabitants.

If your gonna do the constitute Country Scotland then do the other constitute countries

Super duper quick history of Switzerland: *neutral* *neutral* *neutral* *and* *neutral*

Thus have legitimacy to exist

02:27 In the "Battle of Sempach" the Swiss Confederacy fought against Habsurg Ruled Austria. The Habsburgian knights couldn't use their horse because of the swampy ground and dismounted. And used their lances as pikes instead. The Swiss until then fought a very succesfull guerilla war against the Habsburgs using the mountains and forest as advantage. But the Battle of Sempach was the first battle fought on open ground. The Swiss lacking the experience and equipment to fight such a battle. As at that point they were still a relative badly armed peasant army compared to the knights. Were being pushed back by the Habsburg forces using their lances to keep them at a distance. And would probably have lost the Battle which would have led the End of the "Old Swiss Confederation" If it wasn't for one man. Arnold Winkelried. Not much known is about him. Not where he came from. Or who he was before the battle. We know only this. Seeing of how his comrades were dying being and of how they were losing the battle. He turned to one of his friends next to him and sayed. "Take care of my wife and children for me". Without further explanation he CHARGED at the Habsburg Pike Formation. And grabbed as many Pikes as he could to hold them down. Impaling himself in the process. This heroic deed led to a small gap in the Pike Formation of the Austrian Knights. Which the Swiss immediately charged in to fight the enemy at close range. Turning the tide of the Battle which secured a Swiss Victory. We often hear about great Kings and Emperor. Who without their entire lifes work and their subordinates shaped the history of a nation. But it's quite unusual. That one simple unknown man. In mere moment of heroic bravery. Shaped the History of a Nation that without his deed would not exist today. You can see Arnold Winkelried in the center of this picture. The man on the right side leaning forward. I personally don't like this picture. Because Winkelried doesn't stand much out. I much prefer the painting of "Konrad Grob" about the Battle of Sempach. Winkelried is far more present and can be seen kneeling and with his breast still clutching the tipes of the Pikes. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Winkelried_at_Sempach.jpg/1280px-Winkelried_at_Sempach.jpg

Also Switzerland is one of the most xenophobic nations in Europe due to years of isolationist policy, much like Myanmar
