In the 14th and 15th centuries Zürich established a territory which was virtually the equivalent of the current canton of Zürich, almost exclusively by trade and money-lending. Until the end of the Old Zürich War (1436-1450), the city swayed politically between Austria and the Confederation.
Zurich is the capital of the canton of the same name and the centre of a number of regions which together have some 1.9 million inhabitants. It is famous for its lakeside location and green, densely wooded chain of hills which run through the city from north to south.
