History

The Genoese-Swiss War of 1746 was a minor conflict that erupted because of a dispute between the House of Kroshbon over the throne of the newly founded Kingdom of Genoa. King William II claimed that after the abdication of the Doge that the throne was to be handed to a member of his family, however the people of Genoa could not stand for a German King on the throne, a new clamiant emerged, and hostilities ensued.

There was however no actual fighting as within a few weeks the British intervened.
