The Origins of Swiss National Day: A Very Old Alliance
So, what’s the story behind this glorious day? Let’s take a time machine back to 1291, when three cantons decided it was high time to form an alliance. Imagine the excitement—three cantons getting together to say, “Hey, let’s stop fighting and start yodeling!” This quaint agreement laid the groundwork for modern Switzerland, which is a bit like uniting over a fondue pot: it may be messy, but boy, does it taste good!
