Love this game
I like this game but my country, Hungary is not available... it is inside of Romania..
Love ur vids
This game is good tho
@@hitmmon7614 yea pretty good,but u need to put alot of time into it and really be invested in it
Switzerland's neutrality is kind of like a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest telling everyone he just wants to be left alone.
LMAO thats hillarious
... my God man... thats the BEST description of it I've ever heard
Considering how they have explosion around the border, that's pretty accurate
I think Switzerland people say like "I don't use military power to gain benefit from war" look how strong country like France, German and Italy. They are G7 member
Relatable
WW3: *Starts*
Switzerland: "I am gonna pretend that I didn't see anything"
Well ww3 would mean random stray nuke dropping into their cities. Doesn't matter what they think about the war
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that".
@@roxylius7550 you know almost all switzerland houses are protect from nuclear?if you don't beleive me you can watch "bright side"...(bad grammer)
@@roxylius7550 Every Swiss house has a bunker. There are bunkers literally built into the mountains and with the prepper culture over there I'm sure they can weather a nuclear strike.
@@MrLense and has food and water rations for years?
"Why was Switzerland neutral in WW2" well it's very simple, all you have to do is look at it's neighbors.
They also did some financial stuff for Germany, so did Liechtenstein so they were spared
Its*, also, they had a beneficial trading relation, what the video said is true. Germany wouldn't get any benefit from wasting time attritioning troops in the Alps, so why not keep the status quo?They knew the Swiss wouldn't join the allies so they were never threatened by them. The best option was to leave them alone, and so they did.
Kevin Boros he used the *right* it’s. It’s means it is. He said “well it’s very simple.”
Agree
@@Bubba___ the second one, "look at it's neighbors" should be its

@@UFCMania155 but it wasn’t worth it, they could have but it would make no strategic sense.

I nominate to rename Switzerland to "Neutral European Chocolatey Canada". Or NECC.
I promise that I'm jesting.
Yeay
You should be!!! Your country is an example that many countries should follow!!! Also with, good history, great landscape and many lovely places to visit!!!
@@jasondyrkacz8270 i got hungry when i saw chocolate
Well not a lot of us have good things to say about you guys
My parents grew up there in the war and Switzerland was armed to the teeth. Tank traps, barriers, bombs, grenades, and guns for every citizen. It would have been tough to subjugate the country, plus my dad always said if they invaded, that Switzerland would blow up all the train tunnels in the Alps, thus cutting Italy and Germany off from each others. Switzerland made tons of money from the war and there were many sympathizers there , but they were not very vocal about it. Germany hit a lot of money there and the banking system definitely profited from it
There's more to it then just a well equipped military. A swiss director, Laurent Nègre just presented his new movie "A Forgotten Man" at the Zurich Film Festival. Situated in a zurich bunker from 1941 we made an interview with the director on the ambivalent role of Switzerland in WW2. 👉 th-cam.com/video/CAqUR8vZ7xg/w-d-xo.html

Topography. Switzerland is an extremely mountainous area, which is favorable to a defender and has large arms depots in the Alps that could let the Swiss Army fight an invader until they bleed red.
Bottom line: invading Switzerland is not worth it.
@@xx-jp7li the main reason was banking (not a conspiracy theory). The Bank for International Settlements (BIS (the Bank of banks)) is in Switzerland and the BIS decided to remain non-ideologically aligned in order to keep the flow of cash moving (although they tended to favour the Nazis, which was understandable given the geography and early Nazi victories). The Germans needed the services of the BIS (ie to move around cash to pay for resources ..and to stash looted gold for after the war) and so allowed this status to persist.
Switzerland is top 5 in geographically safest country. It’s number 2
@@Jay-qb9gi This list placing it at 9 makes more sense to me.
No way is it harder to invade than the UK, USA or Russia (or the others on the list)
@@redberries8039 yeah maybe 9, but for sure number 1 is the US. It’s statistically and physically impossible to even cross the ocean without getting severely destroyed.
@@Jay-qb9gi Agreed. The US is 1. Add in the fact that it's energy and food independent also.

Swiss chocolate, particularly Toblerone, is the first thing in my mind whenever I hear Switzerland.
Followed by Red Cross, then billionaires (secret bank accounts) and capitalists (in Davos), then NEUTRALITY, and finally Chocolates again.
Toblerone is mostly for tourists and I'd describe it as average quality Swiss chocolate.

Man these guys remind me of the poles. An absolutely breathtakingly stunning culture of defensive fury.

These two nations seem so fascinating and have cultures amazingly characteristic and strong. This is coming from a dude from glasgow. Of whom we live in the shadow of the Irish or the English. Swiss for the Swiss. Poland for the polls. Europa for the Europeans. Ave Europa brothers you are an inspiration to us all. In the face of numerous beasts you stood firm and fought like warriors.

Difference Poland gets f*cked in every European war even when they have a decent army either Germany or Russia come up with a way to take over Poland... Poland is like the dude that always gets bullied and Switzerland is the quiet kid...😅
How did you manage to ignore two of the reasons that invading Switzerland would be too expensive to be worthwhile?
1. Geography: Mountainous territory is the bulk of the country, making use of armor mostly impossible. The Swiss could simply cause avalanches to bury invaders. The population was mostly, with a few exceptions, dispersed in small mountain towns and villages.
2. Defensive preparations: The tunnels and passes were mined and the potential aggressors were advised of that. There were secret mountain fortifications for the use of resistance forces in case of invasion. All Swiss men, until recently, were required to keep weapons and ammunition in their houses. Military training was mandatory. Some of these resistance fortifications [never used] can now be visited by tourists, and there is even an interesting TH-cam video about them.
The mountains are only in the South about 30% of the country?
the main reason was banking (not a conspiracy theory). The Bank for International Settlements (BIS (the Bank of banks)) is in Switzerland and the BIS decided to remain non-ideologically aligned in order to keep the flow of cash moving (although they tended to favour the Nazis, which was understandable given the geography and early Nazi victories). The Germans needed the services of the BIS (ie to move around cash to pay for resources ..and to stash looted gold for after the war) and so allowed this status to persist.
@@redberries8039 Higher mountains, yes, but less rugged but still difficult terrain is in the North and East. True that the Lake Geneva, Rhine valley and Bodensee are exposed, but occupation of the majority of the country would be difficult. Modern weapons have largely neutralized some of this, but nuking a place renders it useless, so why bother. The US managed to force the Swiss to disclose dodgy banking where other countries failed. It wasn't military power or nukes but raw, overwhelming economic power that was used.
@@JMM33RanMA I replied ..it didnt comment (maybe due to links) Here's a shorter version
from wiki:
At the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, the BIS Board of Directors - on which the main European central banks were represented - decided that the Bank should remain open, but that, for the duration of hostilities, no meetings of the Board of Directors were to take place and that the Bank should maintain a neutral stance in the conduct of its business. However, as the war dragged on evidence mounted that the BIS conducted operations that were helpful to the Germans. Also, throughout the war, the Allies accused the Nazis of looting and pled with the BIS not to accept gold from the Reichsbank in payment for prewar obligations linked to the Young Plan. This was to no avail as remelted gold was either confiscated from prisoners or seized in victory and thus acceptable as payment to the BIS.[9]:245-252 Operations conducted by the BIS were viewed with increasing suspicion from London and Washington. The fact that top level German industrialists and advisors sat on the BIS board seemed to provide ample evidence of how the BIS might be used by Hitler throughout the war, with the help of American, British and French banks. Between 1933 and 1945 the BIS board of directors included Walther Funk, a prominent Nazi official, and Emil Puhl responsible for processing dental gold looted from concentration camp victims, as well as Hermann Schmitz, the director of IG Farben, and Baron von Schroeder, the owner of the J.H. Stein Bank [de], all of whom were later convicted of war crimes or crimes against humanity.[10]
@@redberries8039 We are miscommunicating because I was not clear, I was not referring to WW II era issues but to more recent banking secrecy cases of money laundering and concealment of money by Americans from the US tax collectors. Yes international pressure was responsible for uncovering the Nazi dealings, but I was not referring to that. The surrounding countries are now all in the EU and have more leverage than the US which has become mired in corruption and political intrigue worthy of a 3rd world autocracy and has lost respect and influence recently.

Good piece.

Thanks for showing the car i'm playing it right now its good also i like ur channel
I mean if we're being real here with how mountainous it is it would be a terrible decision to attack Switzerland considering the whole country is basically a fort
Switzerland while not an EU member state does have some of the closest non-member relations with the EU involving trade and open borders etc. Due to it’s geographic location

Don't attack me I'm Swedish!
The video was actually made a year ago. If I didn't get the joke I whoooosh myself.
Long story short the country is a valley with mountains on both sides that you'll lose half your army trying to cross, so you can only enter through the north or south and be funneled into a low valley while they've got fake barns and houses at the higher altitudes on both sides looking down into the vally that are actually artillery emplacements, MG nests, and hidden tanks.
Basically the movie 300, you can take them eventually with numbers but will use up half your men and resources trying to funnel them through the opening to do it and then you'll have no one left to conquer anything else so all you'll have gotten for your efforts is a beatuiful valley and some mountains.
Nice video

pretty impressive that a country of mostly farmers 700 years ago decided to not take it anymore. And look at that, today it's one of the only countries in europe that didn't engage in offensive warfare and didn't get invaded for many centuries, weird ?! Surrounded by empires and forces that stood the test of time, roman empire on the south, french to the west, powerful austria/hungary east and holy roman empire at north.
You can make fun of Switzerland all you want, but for a country that didn't even have 1mio pop at 1900, and 6mio at 1960 to roughly 8mio in 2021, that's some hefty achievements.
belgium wanted to be as neutral as switzerland during both ww1 and ww2
But germany didnt like that very much
True but it was a completely different situation because two world wars proved that the easiest way to get into France was to go through Belgium and you fight a war based on areas you can win, you don’t throw your selves up against 500 miles of entrenched fortifications on principal. Plus Belgium was right across the channel from England so it ticked several boxes strategically. It’s unpleasant, it was wrong, but when you’re at war it makes perfect sense
What's the source for Moltke deciding not to invade Switzerland in favor for Belgium?
In all my years of (amateur) study on WWI, I have never heard of the Schlieffen plan going anywhere near Switzerland.
The invasion of Belgium was decided decades before by Schlieffen because Belgium and The Netherlands sit on the flat European plain as well as being the direct road to Paris.
There's not a single benefit in going through Switzerland and it was never an option for Imperial Germany.
True... maybe he confuses it with the German plans in WW2 to invade the swiss and if the Italians didn't drag Germany in their own quest in europe, mostly because they hid enemies of the state
So Switzerland had just luck and lick the ass of Germany just enough

St Jakob was technically a defeat although it was a suicide mission
The premise of a "neutral" air-space relies on it being free of any interference from foreigner military actions.
The germans threatened switzerland, when they let allied forces use their air-space.
Following these complaints switzerland declared its air-space to be a prohited zone, where every foreign plane would be fired upon.
All my country did was upholding that decree, no matter on whose side the offenders would be.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
It takes a bit of everything. Just think, how many times have you been in trouble because you were in the middle of a dispute between two people who are both friends to you. NEUTRAL - that what the Swiss do. They sell their cheese or their weapons to you and your enemies. No problem, it is allowed. Because they are neutral.
Well losing to the Savoyards and French so badly is enough to traumatize your nation for generations to come. And being invaded by France just made that decision to keep their independence even further.
Switzerland: *Neutral*
World: _What does that _*_really_*_ mean?_
Neutral means I do not take a position. I do not discriminate between friends and foes. In practical terms, as long as the price is right, I sell my cheese or weapons to you and your enemies. Because - that what neutrality is all about.
Switzerland: Also, don't mistake our neutrality for weakness. We have guns that we know how to aim.

Because the swiss aren't germans, they merely speak the language.

We have to see when Switzerland will be part of China from ancient times 😂
From ancient times. The way the Swiss are treating the Chines, giving them free access to Switzerland under a special agreement for military staffers and by doing so granting them free unsupervised access to the Schengen Raum without informing those countries is treason on Europe. But all, "de facto" and under strict neutrality.
As always, follow the money. It suited both sides in many wars to have a place that allowed secret banking. It continues to this day. They pointedly don't kill anyone, they just allow the killers to stash the loot they acquire as a result of their kills. All so very neutrally pragmatic.

The Swiss have armed neutrallity meaning they can protect their neutrallity with force if need be
Well also Belgium and the Netherlands were armed...
But of course given that Belgium was certainly considered to be the better way to Paris and into the vital regions of France Switzerland was able to remain neutral.
Or to be specific, make the cost of invasion far greater than any benefit one could receive from conquering.
Which force? The Howitzers they bought from the Americans at the end of WWII or their worn out Jeeps?
@@bertsole7278 It is still a fighting force. In a defensive war, your own terrain is your friend.
Logistically, you do not need the best equipment if you can hide everything in the mountains, destroy any entry points, and give the enemy so much attrition to fight.
Tactically, the terrain is more than enough to compensate with old weapons, bunkers, hidden military bases, and modern artillery made to destroy bridges. Deception is key to good tactical defense.
Strategy, they already have their own strategy of forcing the enemy into attrition, rather than direct fighting.
