Transalpine campaigns of the Old Swiss Confederacy

Years: 1403 - 1516

The transalpine campaigns of the Old Swiss Confederacy, known as Ennetbirgische Feldzüge, "transmontane campaigns" in Swiss historiography, are military expeditions that result in the conquest of territories south of the Alps, corresponding more or less to the modern canton of Ticino, on the part of the Old Swiss Confederacy.

These territories are known as ennetbirgische Vogteien or "transmontane bailiwicks".

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
