| Summary: | The article discusses the possibilities and factors of influence of natural space on the formation of a special attitude of the popula-tion to the phenomenon of war. As an example, Switzerland is considered in the period of its formation within its modern borders in the XIV-XVI centuries. Separately, the authors note the understanding of the phenomenon of militarism as a sociocultural con-struct by the authors, including based on the originality of this approach in modern Russian historiography. Geographic deter-minism is used as the main research method. On its basis, using the data given in synchronous written sources, the influence of mountainous rugged terrain on the population's perception of the phenomenon of war and the formation of militarism in the so-cio-cultural space of society is considered. There is a difference in attitudes towards military affairs in the mountainous cantons of Switzerland and the plains. The researchers point out that this fact is most clearly seen in the Kappel religious wars, where the mountain cantons, in addition to protecting religious beliefs, defended their right to military enterprise, while reformers from the flat part of the country considered mercenarism as a threat to the unity of the country. In conclusion, a conclusion is made about the direct influence of the natural-geographical factor on the perception of the surrounding space and, as a result, the special atti-tude of the population in military affairs i.e., formation of the socio-cultural phenomenon of militarism. |
