    Sure. 1798 brought also liberty to those who had no equal rights before and created within the following half of a century the Modern Swiss Confederation (1848). Besides, swiss regiments fought for the French in the Seven Years War, they fought for the Dutch and the British Crown in India and they were among the last to run away from the fields of the Beresina in Winter 1812. Still, Rousseau, Voltaire and Pestalozzi are far more important (only to mention a few).
