In Switzerland, the civil war is ended by the first Peace of Kappel. By the terms of this agreement, the defeated Catholic Cantons agree to dissolve their alliance with Austria, and both sides promise not to attack the each again. However, these promises did not last long, since conflict was to break out again only two years later, in 1531.
