The country also has a rich history, with its origins in the Old Swiss Confederacy during the late Middle Ages, with its success from battles against duchies like Burgundy and Austria, with the foundation of a confederacy from a document named the Federal Charter of 1291, establishing an alliance between cantons. After the Thirty Years War, Swiss independence was formally recognized with the Treaty of Westphalia. Since then, Switzerland maintained a stance of armed neutrality and has never joined any wars since the Napoleonic era. However, during the present day, its neutrality has decayed after an economic crash caused by German sanctions, forcing the country to seek ties towards Italy to prevent further economic decline.
