  • Under French Rule (1798-1815)
    Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA General Secretariat GS-FDFA Presence Switzerland Under French Rule (1798-1815) The French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars altered the face of Europe. Switzerland, too, was not able to escape these changes. However, the legal equality that was being demanded primarily by the rural subject territories in opposition to the old elite was only established when in 1798 French troops marched in and the political system of the thirteen-canton Confederation collapsed, to be replaced by the centralised unitary state of the Helvetic Republic. By 1803, Napoleon had passed the Act of Mediation to transform this crisis-ridden entity into a federal state, lending the cantons a geographic form that they retained after he was overthrown in 1814/1815. The French Revolution The Lion Monument in Lucerne was erected in 1820-21 in honour of the Swiss Guards who lost their lives during the assault on the Tuileries in Paris in 1792. The monument was designed by Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen and co-financed by various European Royal households. At the time, not everyone was pleased that a monument was being built to Swiss citizens serving a foreign monarchy. A number of liberals even planned to saw off one of the lion’s paws in protest. © www.picswiss France and Switzerland had had close political and above all economic ties since the 16th century. In return for trade privileges, the cantons sent hundreds of thousands of mercenaries to France. It was therefore no coincidence that some 760 Swiss Guards died during the assault on the Tuileries in 1792 as they tried to prevent angry crowds from storming the palace and making their way through to the royal family.
