Would be interesting to know more, but as far as I know Switzerland (or the area) was never especially like this. I mean it was always mountainous, obviously, but the people were not so different from their neighbors. Cheese-makers who worried about having enough hay for the winter, not cattle-rustlers.
The obvious west-european example would be Scotland. And the "solution" was more or less to deport the people to Ireland & replace them with sheep.
- Wildgoose 6y agoI think it was the people of the ungovernable borderlands between England and Scotland (both sides) that ended up being deported to Northern Ireland, (and of course the Scots originally came from Northern Ireland anyway). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debatable_Lands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debatable_Lands
