Renewed interest in Swiss history has sought to overcome the old stereotypes of peasant liberty and republican exceptionalism. The heroic age of the Confederation in the fifteenth century is now seen as a turning-point as the Swiss polity achieved a measure of institutional consolidation and stability, and began to mark out clear frontiers. The Swiss and their Neighbours, 1460-1560 questions both assumptions. It argues that the administration of the common lordships by the cantons collectively gave rise to as much discord as co-operation, and remained a pragmatic device not a political principle. It argues that the Swiss War of 1499 was an avoidable catastrophe, from which developed a modus vivendi between the Swiss and the Empire as the Rhine became a buffer-zone, not a boundary. It then investigates the background to Bern's conquest of the Vaud in 1536, under the guise of relieving Geneva from beleaguerment, to suggest that Bern's actions were driven not by predeterminate territorial expansion but by the need to halt French designs upon Geneva and Savoy. The geopolitical balance of the Confederation was fundamentally altered by Bern's acquisition of the Vaud and adjacent lands. 1499-1648 fast Diplomatic relations (OCoLC)fst01907412 fast Auslandsbeziehungen gnd Aussenpolitik gnd Switzerland Foreign relations Switzerland History 1499-1648 Switzerland (OCoLC)fst01205401 fast Deutschland gnd Frankreich gnd Italien gnd Liechtenstein gnd Österreich gnd Schweiz gnd History fast (OCoLC)fst01411628 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Oxford Scholarship Online History E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 NELA1452002 IDSBB B405 B405 405VT https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Scott Tom 1947- author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198725275.001.0001/oso-9780198725275 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 484759043
