The Toggenburg War, also known as the Second War of Villmergen[2] or the Swiss Civil War of 1712,[3] was a Swiss civil war during the Old Swiss Confederacy from 12 April to 11 August 1712. The Catholic "inner cantons" and the Imperial Abbey of Saint Gall fought the Protestant cantons of Bern and Zürich as well as the abbatial subjects of Toggenburg. The conflict was a religious war, a war for hegemony in the Confederacy and an uprising of subjects.[4] The war ended in a Protestant victory and upset the balance of political power within the Confederacy.
