What year was the year of Switzerland's independence?

This question is difficult to answer because most of the Swiss cantons (states) were originally independent countries, which all have different histories and dates of independence and different dates when they joined Switzerland. Switzerland's traditional date for Independence is 1291. But this is just the date when the three original cantons agreed to a military alliance. It became de facto independent in 1499 and its independence was recognised by treaty in 1648. But some other parts of what is now Switzerland did not join until later, for example Geneva joined in 1815.

What Swiss brought the reformation to Switzerland?

There were three of them in Switzerland: Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, and Guillaume Farel..from the website, History of Switzerland:The reformation of the church in Switzerland by Huldrych Zwingli,John Calvin and Guillaume Farel came a little later than the reformation in Germany by Martin Luther, but it did have a certain independence and it was more radical. As in Germany, the Reformation began in Switzerland as a religious renewal movementand ended in a deep political division between the progressive cities of northern and western Switzerland and the conservative rural areas of central Switzerland.


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.
