What does the Republic of Geneva mean? What's the difference between Geneva and Geneva?

Geneva, a beautiful and modern metropolis, has traditionally been the center of international organizations and activities. The symbol of the city is the big fountain on the lake outside the city center, surrounded by beautiful gardens along the coast, which can be said to be a veritable "flower". And it is famous for its beautiful flower exhibition.

According to the data, as early as 1,-2, BC, after the Ice Age, people lived on both sides of the mouth of the Rhone River, which flows into the present-day Lake Geneva. In the first century A.D., Geneva was already an important business center, and it was not until the Swiss Union went through a period of reorganization that it brought knowledge industry and wealth to Geneva. Before Switzerland announced the establishment of the Republic of China in 1536, many forces constantly invaded the city. In 162, the Duke of Chaves tried to capture Geneva, but it was said that the citizens violently resisted, even throwing kitchen utensils such as pots and kettles at the invaders as weapons. As a result, the Duke failed.

There are many precious cultural relics of ancient countries such as China, Japan, Greece and Rome in many museums in Geneva, and the history of people's efforts to seek time can be found in the Watch Museum. Geneva is also the center of major cultural performances. International artists regularly perform music and operas in major theaters, and the Quai du Mont Blanc in the Grand Casina is a place to try their hand. There is no doubt about Geneva's international financial status. Due to political stability, international institutions are gathered here, and the European headquarters of the United Nations is engaged in rewriting modern history every day in Geneva.

The internationally famous city of Geneva is located at the southern end of Lake Geneva surrounded by mountains. It is the seat of many international organizations such as the European headquarters of the United Nations and the second largest city in Switzerland.

The symbol of Geneva City is the 14m fountain on Lake Geneva in the center of the city, and the gardens and parks around the coast. This culturally rich city also has many high-quality brand-name goods both locally and around the world. Geneva is a paradise for hiking, shopping and exploring art history.

Geneva is an international city, and some people even say that "Geneva does not belong to Switzerland".

There are many reasons: there are more than 19 international organizations such as the European headquarters of the United Nations and the International Red Cross. This is a place where tourists from all over the world gather; In order to solve the shortage of local labor, there are many workers from Mediterranean and other countries here. In addition, there are historical reasons: since the Calvinist Reformation, Geneva has become a refuge for people who oppose the old system. Among the Geneva people who are very tolerant of innovative ideas, Jean? Jacques? Rousseau, like Voltaire, Byron and Lenin, also came to Geneva in order to seek a peaceful environment. It can be said that this international city was born in the history of more than 5 years. Since the late 19th century, Swiss travel has become the fashion pursued by British nobles. They first came to Geneva with their entourage and valuable luggage-hence Switzerland became a tourist country.

At that time, Swiss watchmakers and merchants dealing in jewelry and precious metals were already very famous in Europe, and the development of tourism promoted the surge in the number of watchmakers. Thus, the status of Geneva as a commercial city was established. Geneva is surrounded by France on three sides; The narrowest place in central China is only 4 kilometers wide, so many places are owned by France, and half of Wantland International Airport also belongs to France. There are also many French people who cross the border every day and come to Geneva to work by tram, about 5 thousand people. People in other Swiss states sometimes say that "Geneva doesn't belong to Switzerland". Apart from saying that it is an international city, there is also irony that it is deeply influenced by French culture.
