History

The most well known agreement in the history of Switzerland was recorded by a German: Friedrich Schillers- Willhem Tell. The drama tells the story of the hero of Switzerland, that stands up against the Austrians and is responsible for the foundation of the first three Kantons: Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden. Gradually the number of Kantons has grown, and today we have 26 Kantons altogether. Since the era of William Tell, Switzerland has been able to avoid getting into wars or other crises, and has been able to develop into a stable and wealthy country.
