What is the significance of Switzerland's permanent neutrality?

Switzerland

Since the birth of mankind, there has never been a place on earth without war. Switzerland has not been involved in the war for nearly 600 years, and the Roman Empire of Macedonia has also been involved in the war, but there is no such country as Switzerland.

Switzerland's status as a permanent neutral country began at the Vienna Conference in 18 15, and was reconfirmed in the Treaty of Versailles in 19 19 after World War I.. Looking back at history, "neutrality" has brought great benefits to the Swiss, which is an important foundation for Switzerland's long-term peace and development into one of the richest countries in the world.

Although it is an internationally recognized neutral country, it does not mean anything, nor does it mean that it has the right not to participate in the war.

Belgium used to be a neutral country, but it was still a neutral country after the invasion of fascist Germany.

A Swiss diplomat commented: "Swiss citizens are citizens when they step on their right foot, and soldiers when they step on their left foot. If you want to ask why there has been no war in the past 200 years, the main reason is that we are always ready to fight. "

The service period of Swiss men ranges from 20 to 50. Switzerland usually only keeps 3,500 professional soldiers in China, but if necessary, it can mobilize more than 350,000 officially trained army and air force militia units within 48 hours.
