The Swiss Campaign refers to a series of military operations conducted during the Napoleonic Wars in 1798. It involved the invasion of Switzerland by French forces, aiming to spread revolutionary ideals and establish a French-aligned government. The campaign resulted in the defeat of the local Swiss forces and the establishment of the Helvetic Republic. The campaign was significant as it marked the expansion of French influence in Europe. It also led to the restructuring of Swiss political systems and the eventual rise of national identity. The Swiss Campaign set the stage for future conflicts and changes in the region's governance.
