 Comparative Federalism
While most federations have initially been based on cultural compromise between modernizers seeking economic advantages in a national market economy, and traditionalists adamant about the retention of regional cultural autonomy...., cultural differences have ceased to be the driving force of compromise in a number of federal systems.
American federalism was invented as a bold combination of political pluralism and the need for cooperation among the thirteen colonies that had seceded from the British Empire.
Federalization was not driven by a need to accommodate interregional cultural differences (indeed few federations were as culturally homogeneous as Australia) but to make available the common advantages resulting from limited central governance.

 Encyclopedia: Adolf Hiler
On the morning of January 30, 1933 in Hindenburg's office Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor during what some observers later described as a brief and indifferent ceremony.
Labour unions were merged with employers' federations into an organisation under Nazi control and the autonomy of state governments was severely diminished.
Meanwhile the SA was growing into an independent power of its own and Hitler used allegations of a plot by the SA leader Ernst Röhm to purge the paramilitary force's leadership during the Night of the Long Knives.

The traditional listing order of the cantons of Switzerland reflects this state, listing the eight "Old Cantons" first, with the city states preceding the founding cantons, followed by cantons that joined the federation after 1481, in historical order.
The expansion of the federation, and the reputation of invincibility acquired during the earlier wars, suffered a first setback in 1515 with the Swiss defeat in the Battle of Marignano.
The conflict between Catholic and Protestant cantons persisted, erupting in further violence at the battles of Villmergen in 1656 and 1712.
