		Switzerland has a strong economy in finance and banking, rates highly in international economic standards despite its small size, and maintains a long and strong tradition of political and military neutrality.
		In Early Modern Switzerland, the conflict between Catholic and Protestant cantons persisted, erupting in further violence at the battles of Villmergen in 1656 and 1712, and the growing authoritarianism of the patriciate families combined with a financial crisis in the wake of the Thirty Years' War led to the Swiss peasant war of 1653.
		Also it is suggested that Switzerland's neutrality was compromised in WWII, as Swiss banks and some Swiss citizens may have helped to launder the wealth taken during the Jewish WWII Holocaust, in their role as neutral international transaction and financial depository (bankers) for the various parties on both sides in the conflict.
