First World War to the Domestic Crisis of 1926

Rupert Quaderer examined the challenges of Liechtenstein at the time of the First World War until the domestic crisis of 1926. The most important publication was the three-volume work "Bewegte Zeiten" (2014). The project's objective was to accompany a small state in search for its way in a phase of domestic and foreign policy reorientation. Due to extensive research in Liechtenstein, Swiss and Austrian archives as well as in several private archives, the following assumptions were reassessed: The First World War triggered fundamental changes in the domestic and foreign policy development of Liechtenstein. The partly intense discussions about the right way of a small state led to the constitution of 1921 and to the conclusion of the Customs Treaty with Switzerland in 1923.
