Toggenburg

Switzerland

Toggenburg, a valley region in Switzerland, appears in 42 Bunkabop connections with 2069 other places across 14 topics, with history the dominant cluster and religion a strong second. When the main line of the counts of Toggenburg died out in 1436, the succession dispute triggered the Old Zürich War (1440–46), temporarily expelling Zürich from the Swiss Confederacy. Part of the valley later joined Zwingli's Reformation and declared independence in 1530, but was forced to re-submit to the Abbot of St. Gall in 1538.
