A decade after the idea for such a center first took root in the Swiss American Historical Society, the concept is a reality and offers an excit­ ing mix of a rich ethnic history and a promising future of educational and business development. That the center came about is a tribute to the hard work of a variety of people, whose determination overcame doubts and financial hurdles. The center is located in the unique Swiss community of New Glarus, Wisconsin.

  • Switzerland During the War Years (1914-1945)
    Switzerland during the war years (1914-1945) Brother Klaus who preached unity to the Confederates in the 15th century protects his land as war rages. Painting from 1944 in the Emaus chapel, near Bremgarten in the canton of Aargau. © FDFA, Presence Switzerland In the first half of the 20th century, Switzerland lived through not only two world wars but also an interwar period that saw a dramatic economic downturn and major political unrest. Although Switzerland was spared the direct impact of both wars, the country’s development was heavily influenced by political events abroad. The wars exposed the Swiss economy’s dependency on imports and exports. The global economic crisis of 1929 plunged the country into a depression that would last many years. Domestic politics was marked by tensions between the centre-right parties and the Left. Relations between the two sides became particularly strained following the General Strike of 1918. This tense climate prevailed until the 1930s, when the political forces closed ranks in order to head off external threats. National solidarity was sealed with the election of the Social Democrat Ernst Nobs to the Federal Council in 1943. Switzerland prior to the First World War "Helvetia" and "Argentina": 1st August celebrations (Swiss national day) in Baradero, Argentina, 1907. © Musée historique Lausanne The turn of the 20th century was an era of sustained and rapid economic growth. The value of exports doubled between 1887 and 1912. A third of the population derived an income, either directly or indirectly, from foreign trade. Per capita, Switzerland was the world’s leading exporter of machinery and, for a time, was even the top export nation, outstripping the United Kingdom and Germany.
