What reading level is Switzerland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In case of a dispute between Zurich and a Forest state reference was to be made to four arbitrators, two from the Forest states and two from the city; if these failed a referee was to be called in, and the referee was to belong to the Confederacy. The compact was to be renewed every ten years, and was not to be altered with- out the consent of all the parties.
The entry of a great city into the Confederation had a vital influence on the whole history of Switzerland. That will be clear enough as... this narrative proceeds. What concerns us now is that the solidarity of the new model Confederation was very quickly tested. In the late summer the Duke Albert himself besieged Zurich with 16, 000 men. An attempt was made at arbitration, and the issue was placed in the hands of the widowed Queen Agnes of Hungary. She was a benevolent and a popular lady; but she was also a Habsburg and a queen, and the effect of her decision would have been to restore to the house of Austria most of the powers over the Forest states that had been destroyed at Morgarten.
