Act of Mediation

Act of Mediation

The Act of Mediation was issued by Napoleon Bonaparte on 19 February, 1803 establishing the Swiss Confederation. The act also abolished the previous Helvetic Republic, which had existed since the invasion of Switzerland by French troops in 1798. After the withdrawal of French troops in July 1802, the Republic collapsed ("Stecklikrieg"). The Act of Mediation was Napoleon's attempt at a compromise between the "Ancien Regime" and a Republic. This intermediary stage of Swiss history lasted until the Restoration of 1815.
