Historical background
SWITZERLAND - CONFEDERATION OF HELVETIA - CANTON OF VAUD
Located in French-speaking Switzerland, the canton of Vaud, whose capital is Lausanne, occupies most of western Switzerland. Its borders extend from the shores of Lake Geneva to those of Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Morat. Originally part of the lands of Savoy, the canton was under the domination of Bern after their conquest in 1536. It obtained its independence on January 24, 1798 thanks to Napoleon and joined the Swiss Confederation on April 14, 1803..
