2. Liechtenstein’s Stand Against Austria (1866)
In 1866, during the Austro-Prussian War, Liechtenstein’s army of 80 men was deployed to guard the Stilfser Joch pass, aiming to protect the Austrian border from potential Italian attacks. Remarkably, the contingent faced no combat and returned home without casualties. A popular legend claims that 80 men went to war, but 81 came back, though the identity of the additional person remains disputed.
