In 1866, during the Austro-Prussian War, Liechtenstein sent approximately 80 soldiers to guard the neutral border.
They did not engage in combat, and the popular story holds that all 80 returned, plus an extra Italian “friend” they had made during their peaceful deployment.
The event highlights the principality’s long tradition of neutrality.
The uneventful and expense-heavy deployment ultimately led Prince Johann II to disband the standing army in 1868.
Since then, Liechtenstein has maintained permanent neutrality and has had no active military forces.
