Thought I'd end the year with a Bang...

Attended the "Révolution et Restoration de la République de Genève " - "Aux armes Genève" this morning. Basically, in 1798, Geneva was annexed by France and became the head of the department of Léman. The defeat of the Napoleonic armies liberated Geneva on December 31, 1813. Geneva joined the Swiss Confederation in 1815 as the 22nd canton.
