Switzerland has not been at war with another nation since 1815. Until 1515, Switzerland led an expansionist policy noted by many successful invasions of foreign nations. In 1515 Switzerland was defeated at the Battle of Marignano by the French army. This ended Switzerland's expansionist policy and began neutrality.

Was Switzerland ever an Empire?

No. It never as a country made offensive war on anyone, apart from fighting and killing in battle Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy around 1470 AD, who they knew had designs on Switzerland's independence. Nor did Switzerland ever have colonies or otherwise 'conquered' lands. It was just a rather loose confederation of Swiss provinces (Cantons). Only around 1850 did Switzerland get its present form, laws and institutions.
