The Stecklikrieg () of 1802 resulted in the collapse of the Helvetic Republic, the renewed French occupation of Switzerland and ultimately the Act of Mediation dictated by Napoleon on 10 March 1803. The conflict itself was between federalist insurgents, mostly of the rural population, and the official Helvetic Republic. The name "wooden club" refers to the improvised weaponry of the insurgents. William Wordsworth's poem Thought of a Briton on the Subjugation of Switzerland is directly inspired by the events of the Stecklikrieg.
