Johann U. von Salis-Soglio in a drawing from XXI
Johann Ulrich von Salis-Soglio (16 March 1790 – 27 April 1874[1]) was a Swiss military officer who in 1847 commanded the conservative Sonderbund alliance in the Sonderbund War.
Career
Salis-Soglio was born in Chur on 16 March 1790 to the Salis-Soglio noble family.[2] He chose a military career at a young age and became a member of the Grisons Militia in 1809.[2] He served as a mercenary in Bavaria between 1812 and 1815, fighting in the War of the Sixth Coalition, and in the Netherlands between 1815 and 1839, reaching the rank of major-general.[2] Salis-Soglio returned to Switzerland in 1839 and joined the general staff of the Swiss Army with the rank of colonel in 1841.[2][3]
In August 1847, Salis-Soglio was dismissed from his army position due to his support for the Sonderbund alliance.[2] A Protestant, he reluctantly took command of the Sonderbund army in October 1847.[2] The Sonderbund, politically divided and with an inferior army, was defeated by the Federal army under General Dufour in the Sonderbund War.[2] Salis-Soglio was accused of high treason, but was not put on trial due to the prioritization of national reconciliation.[2]
After the war, Salis-Soglio lived in Bergamo, South Tyrol, and Munich, before retiring to Chur in 1855.[2] He died in Chur on 27 April 1874.[2]
