The start of the First World War on 1 August 1914 marked the end of the «long 19th century». Unlike the many other countries, Switzerland was not drawn into the conflict and succeeded in holding on to the concept of integral neutrality for the entire duration of the war. But even if no armed conflict ever took place within the Swiss borders, the «battles of material» and totalisation of the war abroad also led to the impoverishment of wide sections of the population in Switzerland and increasingly to rapid social polarization and disintegration. Despite the fact that the impact of the war continued to affect and shape Swiss politics, business and culture for decades to come, the history of Switzerland in the First World War has never been studied in detail. This Sinergia project - which commenced in October 2012 and consists of three sub-projects comprising two dissertations each - focuses on how experiences and expectations changed dynamically during the war; it examines the diverse exchange and interaction processes between Switzerland and the belligerent countries and explores what scope for action a small, neutral country actually had. The aim of this research project is to make a fundamental contribution to a transnational, cultural-historical history of the First World War as well as providing a comprehensive contribution to filling one of the most neglected research fields in the history of Switzerland in the 20th century. The focus on the integration of political, economic, legal and social aspects in the individual sub-projects, combined with a transnational comparative perspective, gives this project a unique standing in the context of international research. After the start of the project in October 2012, the past three years have not only seen an outstandingly good collaboration between the various universities and the six doctoral candidates, richly diverse synergies have also emerged between the individual sub-projects. The regular meetings and opportunities that the members of the project team had to exchange thoughts were exceptionally helpful for all involved and the complementarity of the projects is very high. In total, as part of the overall project around 30 presentations have been held, 20 articles written for publication and - as part of the «centenary» - the project team had around 20 appearances on radio, television and in the print media.
