\n
In <\/span>the <\/span>postwar <\/span><\/span>period <\/span>Switzerland <\/span>has <\/span>experienced <\/span>a <\/span><\/span>large and <\/span> sustained <\/span><\/span>influx <\/span><\/div>\n
of <\/span>immi<\/span>grants <\/span> unprecedented <\/span>in <\/span>its <\/span> history. <\/span>To <\/span>be <\/span> sure, <\/span> immigrants <\/span> have <\/span>come <\/span> to <\/span>Switzerland <\/span><\/span><\/span>during <\/span>all <\/span>ages; <\/span><\/span>the central <\/span>geographical <\/span>location <\/span> and <\/span>the <\/span>close <\/span>cultural <\/span>connections <\/span>with <\/span><\/span><\/span>the <\/span>neighboring <\/span><\/span>countries <\/span>have <\/span>always <\/span>facilitated <\/span> <\/span>a <\/span> certain <\/span> amount <\/span><\/span>of <\/span>immigration. <\/span> But <\/span>until <\/span>the <\/span>end <\/span>of <\/span> <\/span>the <\/span> 19th <\/span>century <\/span>the <\/span>extent <\/span>of <\/span> <\/span>this <\/span>influx <\/span>was <\/span>hery <\/span> <\/span><\/span>limited, <\/span>the <\/span>continuous <\/span>pressure <\/span> of <\/span> the <\/span> <\/span><\/span>native <\/span> population <\/span> on <\/span><\/span>the <\/span> scanty <\/span> resources <\/span> of <\/span> <\/span>the <\/span> mountainous <\/span> country <\/span><\/span>offered <\/span>few <\/span>opportunities <\/span> <\/span><\/span>for <\/span> large-scale <\/span>immigration. <\/span> The <\/span>situation <\/span>changed, <\/span><\/span><\/span>however, <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span><\/span>latter <\/span>half <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>19th <\/span>century <\/span>when <\/span> the <\/span><\/span><\/span>expansion <\/span>of <\/span>Swiss <\/span>industry <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>began <\/span>to <\/span><\/span>exercise <\/span>a <\/span>powerful <\/span>attraction <\/span>on <\/span>the <\/span>nearby <\/span>regions <\/span>of <\/span> <\/span>some <\/span>of <\/span> <\/span><\/span>the <\/span>neighboring <\/span>countries <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>where <\/span> economic <\/span> development <\/span> had <\/span> <\/span><\/span>been <\/span>slower. <\/span> Around the <\/span> turn <\/span>of <\/span> <\/span>the <\/span> <\/span>20th <\/span> century <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
this <\/span>influx <\/span> <\/span>assumed <\/span> the <\/span>character <\/span> of <\/span>a <\/span> <\/span>mass <\/span>migration <\/span> and <\/span> <\/span>Switzerland, <\/span>for <\/span><\/span>centuries <\/span> a <\/span>typical <\/span>sending <\/span>country, <\/span> turned <\/span>into <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>receiving <\/span>country <\/span>for <\/span>several <\/span>decades. <\/span><\/span>During <\/span> the <\/span><\/span>quarter <\/span>century <\/span>preceding <\/span>the <\/span>First <\/span>World <\/span>War <\/span>almost <\/span><\/span><\/span>300,000 <\/span>foreigners <\/span>crossed <\/span>the <\/span>Swiss <\/span><\/span>borders <\/span> and <\/span>in <\/span><\/span>1914 <\/span>the <\/span>foreign <\/span> nationals <\/span> <\/span>resident <\/span> in <\/span> Switzerland <\/span>numbered <\/span> approxim<\/span><\/span><\/span>ately <\/span>600,000 <\/span>or <\/span>15.4 <\/span>per <\/span>cent <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>total <\/span>population, <\/span> a <\/span>proportion <\/span> not <\/span> equalled <\/span>by <\/span> <\/span>any <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>other <\/span>European <\/span>country <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>time. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
