Switzerland invades Liechtenstein!

Swiss accidentally invade Liechtenstein

According to Swiss daily Blick, the 170 infantry soldiers wandered just over a mile across an unmarked border into the tiny principality early Thursday before realizing their mistake and turning back.

5. But the Swiss had to retreat
Liechtenstein may not have an army, but it’s largest company, Hilti, makes nail guns.
