The Old Swiss Confederacy was established in 1291 when three cantons united to defend their independence after the death of Emperor Rudolf I of Habsburg, eventually expanding to include more cantons.Swiss territories became reintegrated into the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC and remained under Roman rule for several centuries, with the center of Roman administration at Aventicum.With the decline of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes settled in the area, leading to the formation of the Duchy of Burgundy and the Duchy of Alemannia.The introduction of the Christian faith in the early 7th century by Irish monks and the establishment of the first Christian bishoprics in the 4th century contributed to the cultural and religious landscape of the region.The formation of the Swiss Confederation in 1848 established Switzerland as a federal republic, setting the stage for the country's growth and development into a modern, stable economy.Swiss neutrality during the World Wars and the success of the banking industry further solidified the country's status as an economic powerhouse.Switzerland's close relationships with the European Economic Community and the European Union, while not formally joining as a member, have played a significant role in shaping the country's recent history.
