In the months following the end of the Second World War, and the attack on the German delegation's life in Geneva; Switzerland found itself in a precarious position.
Their economy had been in decline for years; their politicians were being exposed for corruption left and right. And to top it all off they were suffering from a serious problem with French nationalism.
The remnants of de Gaulle's regime had fled across the Swiss border and over the course of the last four years infested every corner of the country.
This had culminated in the attack on the German delegation during the peace accords hosted in Geneva. An attack which forced Swiss police to modernize as best they could to counter the growing threat of terrorism.
Every attempt to crack down on a cell created two more. And as violence spread, the police only seemed to make matters worse. The left-wing political parties capitalized on the failures of the current administration.
