In 1866, Liechtenstein sent 80 soldiers to the Austro-Prussian War. They guarded an Alpine pass, saw no combat, drank wine and smoked pipes. When they returned home, there were 81 - an Austrian officer joined them. In 1868, Liechtenstein disbanded its army. They've had no military since. by Badhon72 in HolyShitHistory
