The country that turned the war into a paragraph sent 80 people back to 81 people and won the Funny Nobel Prize
The world is so vast that anything strange will happen. In a small country in western central Europe, in a war, they sent 80 people to fight, but when they returned, they had 1 more.
For the Nobel Prize, everyone should be familiar with it. So let's take an example to introduce the Funny Award, last year a team won the Funny Economics Award, the award ceremony at Harvard University in the United States, they studied whether the mood will be to be a witch and a villain to scold the leader, and the result is that it is okay without losing your job.
Back to the point, let's go on to say that the funny Nobel Prize winner country above. Today, it is located between Switzerland and Austria, with a small land area and a small total population, so it is also a well-known pocket country. In fact, in 1866, this was not the case in Liechtenstein.
In 1866, the Kingdom of Prussia and Austria surrounded Liechtenstein. As neighbors of Liechtenstein, they went to war in 1866. This war is also very famous, that is, the "Austro-Prussian War", 630,000 Prussian soldiers fought, 585,000 Austrian soldiers fought, what about the pocket country in the middle?
Liechtenstein, although it is a pocket country, but they have a clear idea. They knew that if they didn't make a decision as soon as possible, both neighbors would be offended by it, so after much deliberation, they expressed their position in favor of Austria. Having taken a stand, the defense of the Tyrolean region was their first task.
The Tyrol region belongs to Austria, which believes that Liechtenstein, even if small, still has a certain role. The Liechtensteiners were optimistic, with 80 men and 80 of them were the soldiers they had sent to defend Austrian land. Coincidentally, the Italians, who did not want to fight, were Liechtenstein's rivals, and the defensive battle became a banquet after the encounter of two countries with no intention of war, and every day the barracks were filled with laughter and laughter.
Soldiers on either side were not wounded in the occasional gunshot. A few days later, the war ended and Austria was defeated. Liechtenstein, as a defeated country, had no sense of defeat at all, and returned home as if it were a victorious country, and the local residents greeted them with great joy, as if they were celebrating something.
And the most interesting thing is that Liechtenstein, which originally sent 80 people to fight, became 81 people after returning, and there was 1 more person. Who is this person? It turned out that he was an Austrian communications officer, and because he could not contact Austria and because he was at ease with the people of Liechtenstein, he followed them back to Liechtenstein.
In this famous pocket country, the residents are all "optimistic", and when outsiders look at it, their system is very strange. As a small country, the population was sparse, so two years after the end of the "Austro-Prussian War", they disbanded the army that had been prepared for the war, and more than 100 police officers were the people who are now defending Liechtenstein.
Moreover, if you pay enough money, Liechtenstein can rent it to you and you can enjoy the day king.
