It was only in 1803, however, that the name <i>Schweiz</i>, as derived from the canton of <i>Schwyz</i>, became the official name of Switzerland.

When the century-old <i>Marchenstreit</i> between Schwyz and Einseideln Abbey led to a Schwyz attack on the Abbey in 1314, the Habsburgs, as patrons of the Abbey, had an opportunity for military action against them. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg/220px-Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg/330px-Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Battle_of_Morgarten.jpg 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="311" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Morgarten" title="Battle of Morgarten">Battle of Morgarten</a>, the first battle of the new Confederation against the Habsburgs</figcaption></figure> <p>On 15 November 1315, Leopold of Austria led a large army of knights to crush the rebellious confederates, planning a surprise attack from the south via <a href="/wiki/Lake_Aegeri" class="mw-redirect" title="Lake Aegeri">Lake Aegeri</a> and the Morgarten pass, and counting on a complete victory over the rebellious peasants.

The new canton only had 4 seats in the Tagsatzung instead of the 16 that its members had held before the invasion. Initially, the victorious French army only lightly occupied the old core of the canton of Schwyz, but plundered the Einseideln Abbey. However, after a failed uprising in Nidwalden in the fall of 1798, Schwyz was forced to hand over all weapons and to provide supplies and housing to French troops. The heavy demands of the occupying French led to the uprising known as the <i>Hirthemmli War</i> in April 1799. After the French suppressed this uprising, they moved the capital of the canton of Waldstätten to Zug.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_4-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In summer and autumn of 1799, the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Second_Coalition" title="War of the Second Coalition">War of the Second Coalition</a> brought renewed fighting to Schwyz. In mid-August the French General <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Mass%C3%A9na" title="André Masséna">André Masséna</a> drove the Austrian-Russian army out of the Schwyz valley.

Suvorov was unable to force his way out of the canton and was eventually driven over the <a href="/wiki/Pragel_Pass" title="Pragel Pass">Pragel Pass</a> to Glarus. The destruction and looting from both armies stripped the canton of food and ruined fields, causing hardship and death among the Schwyzer during the following winter. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Joseph_Thomas_Fassbind" title="Joseph Thomas Fassbind">Joseph Thomas Fassbind</a> compiled a history of the canton during this period, published in the 1830s. </p><p>After the 1803 <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Mediation" title="Act of Mediation">Act of Mediation</a>, Schwyz regained its independence and most of the changes introduced by <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a> were reverted. The old subject lands were converted into full and equal districts and the formerly independent towns of Gersau and Reichenburg joined the new canton of Schwyz. The loss of power in the old core of Schwyz led to resentment and tension in the canton. After the abolition of the Act of Mediation in February 1814 the old core tried to usurp the leadership role in the canton and strip the right to political participation from the former subject lands. The old subject lands resisted this and the old core was forced to agree to the 1814 Constitution which granted equal rights to all citizens. However, they were able to include the provision that the two-thirds of the seats would come from the old core of Schwyz. Furthermore, the highest cantonal authorities came from the old core. While the new constitution removed the legal difference between citizens and residents, residents were not allowed to use the extensive land owned by the <a href="/wiki/B%C3%BCrgergemeinde" title="Bürgergemeinde">citizen's community</a>. Tensions continued to escalate until in the Landsgemeinde of 1829, the residents from the former subject lands were driven out of the assembly. The former subject lands saw this as a clear threat to their equality, and encouraged by the <a href="/wiki/July_Revolution" title="July Revolution">July Revolution</a> of 1830 the four outer districts; <a href="/wiki/March_District" title="March District">March</a>, <a href="/wiki/Einsiedeln" title="Einsiedeln">Einsiedeln</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pf%C3%A4ffikon,_Schwyz" title="Pfäffikon, Schwyz">Pfaeffikon</a> and <a href="/wiki/K%C3%BCssnacht" title="Küssnacht">Küssnacht</a> signed a new constitution which guaranteed, among other things, proportional representation. The leaders of the old core saw this as a threat to their authority and rejected the new constitution. On 9 March 1831 the outer districts seceded from Schwyz and formed the canton of <a href="/wiki/Outer_Schwyz" title="Outer Schwyz">Outer Schwyz</a> with the capital in Einsiedeln. In 1832 they established a new constitution, government and courts.

Perhaps the greatest change was that it abolished the Landsgemeinde, which had formerly been the supreme authority.

Only a small percentage of the population is still active in agriculture in the canton.</figcaption></figure> <p>With the end of the Landsgemeinde in the new constitution, the cantonal elections on 3 December 1848 brought a conservative majority parliament. However, the cantonal councils then selected a liberal-conservative and liberal government. The government had the difficult task of reunifying the canton and supporting the new federal government, which 75% of Schwyzer opposed. Over the next few years the new government focused, almost exclusively, on integrating the canton into the new Confederation. Federal forgiveness of the Sonderbund War debt in 1852 and hosting the Federal Officers Festival in 1856 and the Federal Shooting Festival of 1867 all helped to reintegrate the canton. </p><p>A conservative ballot initiative in 1854 failed to reestablish the Landsgemeinde and abolish the districts, while a liberal initiative in 1866, which attempted to expand personal rights, also failed. In the early 1870s, the conservatives gained power in the cantonal government. In 1874, the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Constitution" title="Swiss Federal Constitution">Swiss Federal Constitution</a> was completely revised, which created conflicts with the Schwyz cantonal constitution. It was revised in 1876 and accepted by 73% of voters. The new cantonal constitution limited the scope of the cantonal laws and extended the requirements for mandatory referendums. </p><p>In the mid-1890s, the liberals began to push for another constitutional revision. Their revisions included language that would give the government authority over the monasteries and their assets. The conservatives fought back with a platform of protecting the religion of most Schwyzer. In response, the government created a second version, which dropped the controversial religious portions but was otherwise unchanged. This new constitution, which required elections every four years, the popular election of all members of parliament, proportional representation in the cantonal councils and full religious freedom, was approved on 23 October 1898. This constitution remained in force, with amendments, until 2011. </p><p>Between 1833 and 1950 the population of the canton doubled from 38,351 to 71,082 people, though this increase was slower than the national average. The railroad to Küssnacht allowed that town to grow much faster than average between 1870–1914. At about the same time, a wave of immigrants from Europe (mostly from Italy) moved into the canton and a larger group of Schwyzer emigrated to the United States. On a <a href="/wiki/Per_capita" title="Per capita">per capita</a> basis, Schwyz had the third highest emigration rate in Switzerland as people left for jobs. During late 19th and early 20th century, internal migration also changed the composition of the population. In 1860 almost 80% of the residents lived in the village of their birth, by 1950 it was only 50%. </p><p>The First World War was very hard on the residents of the canton. The cantonal authorities did little to prevent war time profiteering and prices for food and other necessities skyrocketed (the alternative being price controls, shortages and the creation of a Black Market). At the same time, extensive unemployment and low wages led to starvation and poverty. Some of the major industries in Schwyz at the time were tourism and the textile cottage industry, both of which collapsed, so the canton suffered disproportionately. In 1918, Schwyzer troops were called up to join the Federal Army in suppressing striking workers in the canton of Uri, in Rapperswil and in the Zürich Oberland. When the <a href="/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic" class="mw-redirect" title="1918 flu pandemic">Spanish flu</a> broke out in the army camps many Schwyzer soldiers died. The poverty and death led to a polarization of politics and the Conservatives used the slogan of "flu-dead soldiers" until the mid-1930s. </p><p>During the Second World War, Schwyz was generally insulated from the effects of the war. Several fortresses were built on the <a href="/wiki/Rigi" title="Rigi">Rigi</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Sattel_Pass" title="Sattel Pass">Sattel Pass</a> and on the Etzel and the Linth plains as part of the <a href="/wiki/National_Redoubt_(Switzerland)" title="National Redoubt (Switzerland)">National Redoubt fortifications</a>. During the war, Schwyz was twice the center of national attention. Once in 1941 on the occasion of the 650th anniversary of Confederation and in 1942, with the arrest of the owner of a dairy and mill for the extensive black market operations. </p><p>Between 1950 and 2010, the population doubled again to 146,730 people in 2010. During this period Schwyz showed one of the highest growth rates among the Swiss cantons. The highest growth was in the Outer Schwyz region. The Höfe district grew from 7,573 in 1950 to around 27,000 people in 2010. In 2004, Freienbach replaced Schwyz as the largest municipality in the canton.<sup id="cite_ref-HDS_4-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HDS-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The cantonal administration introduced a "<a href="/wiki/Logo" title="Logo">logo</a>" to represent its "<a href="/wiki/Corporate_identity" title="Corporate identity">corporate identity</a>" in 1995.
