Good question. Why are they so nutty too. Why not Eastern Europe and Southern Italy while we are at it.

Switzerland is peace and harmony. So is Austria. And the Rocky mountains. And the Pyrenees. Your Argument is invalid.

why are they so violent though
>>449335
Well gee, violence might become a custom when your culture is constantly fighting for self preservation.
>>449335
They are no more violent than any other nation in time of war, it's not their fault they had to fight recently. Also the region itself is quite peaceful comparing to Balkans or Middle East.

After a lot of violent warfare that pacified them. The Swiss were renowned as hardy and violent mercenaries in their time, and before they ever led a series of expansion wars into Italy and Burgundy they led a particularly violent rebellion against the many Hapsburg governors that tried to rule them.
Switzerland is peace and harmony now because after France made them eternally neutral, their society changed from one based on tribes and clans to one based on cantons, a more civic form of society.
>Pyrenees
Almogavars, same deal.

Also you missed the romans, who also held the region for longer than russia.
>>449546
Though the romans didn't get the entire caucasus, not reaching the caspian sea.

Less violent and more resistant to authority, which comes from a clannish mentality that's common among many mountain-based cultures across the world.

Both. Although they betrayed Subutai and sent word of his arrival ahead of his contingent.
>>449242
The Druze are (or were) quite nasty warriors.

interestingly both of them are in uproar and violence because of the muslim population that tries to spread their influence
