Italy has a region where the majority language is German, a minority language nobody outside the Alps has heard of, and an autonomy arrangement that took decades of bitter dispute to negotiate

Its pretty fascinating, you are essentially crossing a very abrupt linguistic border the moment you enter Bozen.

Heard people speaking Ladin during a vacation there, sounded like Dutch to me.

Where’s the Trento province? That’s technically also “Tyrol”.

Here are some inconvenient FACTS AUSTRIA doesn’t want you to know:
FACT: AUSTRIA means Oster-REICH meaning Eastern REICH, REICH is the GERMAN word for NAZI Empire
FACT: AUSTRIANS speak GERMAN, the language of the NAZIS, Germans speak Deutsch
FACT: When the NAZIS knew they were losing, they decided to create a holdout in the Alps, is this how AUSTRIA was created?
FACT: Germans only voted 30% for HITLER, AUSTRIANS voted 99%
FACT: HITLER was born in AUSTRIA
FACT: The allies occupied Germany for only 5 years, they occupied AUSTRIA for 10 years, why did it take so long?
When will the world realize the truth about AUSTRIA?

Austrian territory in this map isn’t really that interesting, is it?
South Tyrol is usually referenced as an example of good coexistence between two very different cultures and languages. Clearly there have been conflicts, and there still are to some extent, but the big money this region makes (out of tourism mostly, but not only, with special taxation laws) helps incredibly well to make people living peacefully together.
