Historical background

AUSTRIA - REPUBLIC

(1918-1938)

When the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed, Charles I (1887-1922) abdicated and the Republic was proclaimed. Defeated Austria, torn apart by the Treaties of Sèvres and Trianon, fell victim to galloping inflation between 1922 and 1924. The crisis of 29 (Black Thursday) began with the bankruptcy of an Austrian bank. From 1932, the new strongman was Engelbert Dollfuss (1892-1934). He was assassinated in 1934 by the Nazis. The Anchluss (reunion of Austria and Germany) is carried out by Adolf Hitler on March 12, 1938.
