What if, after being denied access to Switzerland - the creation of a Catholic, German canton would've changed the ethnic and religious makeup of the Confederation - the people of Vorarlberg tried to join the bordering Alemannic and Catholic state of Liechtenstein instead, viewing it as the next best thing? Would the foreign powers and the government of the Principality have allowed this move (Liechtenstein being far less important as a state than Switzerland), and could the more than tenfold increase in the territory of Liechtenstein cause butterflies down the line, especially before, during and after World War II?
There was a sizeable Nazi movement in the Principality after all, maybe with a Liechtenstein that is a Greater Vorarlberg in all but name, a Kleinanschluß of Liechtenstein to Germany could've been possible.
