Swiss Neutrality

In the 1400s Switzerland was a strong military country and they entered into several wars to try and expand their country. They won quite a few territories during this time, but in 1515 the Swiss suffered a big defeat at the hands of the French. This caused them to think twice about their policy to expand. They decided to adopt a policy of permanent neutrality and they have stayed out of foreign wars ever since.  At the beginning of World War 1 Switzerland announced neutrality and because of that they were not invaded. I do not believe that they have ever been invaded since they announced permanent neutrality
