The Royal Forces fought back. The women were scared, screamed and ran. The Japanese attacked the country but did not manage to invaded it and occupy it. The President then had the women and children sent south to keep them protected. The women took care of the kids and wounded warriors. There is a great Hollywood movie made back in the Forties about the attack on Darwin and the evacuation of the people. Do not recall the name of the movie.

First country Nazi Germany invaded?
Austria, however it was not really an invasion but a coerced decision by the Austrian government to turn power over to the Austrian Nazi Party (that took orders from Hitler). It was called the "Anschluss" which is German for 'joining', 'connection', or 'union'. Thereafter Austria was considered part of "greater Germany" and fully participated in Germany's ambitions & conquests.
Why did the Germans invade Hungary?
The short answer is: to prevent Austria from passing a law that would prevent it from unifying with Germany.The longer answer with the background info:In the late 1920s and early 1930s, as Nazism grew in popularity in Germany, it likewise grew in neighboring Austria. Just after Adolf Hitler and the Nazis took control of Germany in early 1933, an Austrian leader named Engelbert Dollfuss became the chancellor of Austria. He was worried that Austrian Nazis would push for Austria to join Germany (even though the treaties ending World War I had forbidden it), so he formed a new political party called the "Fatherland Front" and made himself into a dictator in a manner very similar to Benito Mussolini's Fascist Italy. This was nicknamed "Austrofascism".Due to the similarity between Austrofascism and Fascism, the two dictators (Dollfuss and Mussolini) became friends, and Mussolini sought to prevent Germany from trying to annex Austria. In July 1934, Nazis murdered Dollfuss, and Italy nearly went to war with Germany over it. Austrian Nazis attempted to take over Austria in the aftermath of the assassination, but were defeated when the military said they would simply blow up the building they were in. The new chancellor, Kurt Schuschnigg, continued Dollfuss's Austrofascist dictatorship.The Austrian Nazis did not quit however. They continued trying to take control of Austria so that it could be merged with Germany. In March 1938, Schuschnigg had had enough of their trouble-making, and decided to let the Austrian people vote to decide to permanently forbid Austria from joining Germany. However, he included rules that made it difficult for Austrian Nazis to vote, and these Nazis basically went to Hitler to complain.In the years between 1935 and 1938, Mussolini had become friends with Hitler, so Italy was no longer strongly backing Austria's independence. Freed from outside interference, Hitler issued an ultimatum to Schuschnigg: cancel the vote, or Germany will invade. Schuschnigg refused to cancel the vote, and the day before the election, Germany's military invaded. Schuschnigg ordered his military not to resist, because it would've led to a bloody war that Austria couldn't win. Austrian Nazis enthusiastically greeted the invading German troops, which caused the invasion to be nicknamed the "Blumenkrieg" ("Flower War").On April 10, 1938 (just a few weeks after the invasion), Hitler held his own election in Austria, in which the Austrians would instead vote on whether or not to join Germany. The election was not really a fair election- ballots were not done in secret, and government officials stood watch to make sure that everyone voted "correctly". The vote wound up passing in favor of unification by 99.7%- a sure sign of a fraudulent election. But the vote counted, and Austria was officially annexed by Germany.

What was the result of the anschluss?
Anschluss was achieved in several different ways. Hitler was not going to make the same mistake he made in 1934. So by 1938, Hitler was allied with Mussolini. Also, Mussolini was occupied with the Spanish civil war, so unlikely to help Austria if Hitler did invade. Once Hitlers troops had marched into Austria, Hitler held a plebiscite (a vote). 99.75% of the Austrian population voted for a union with Germany. This is how Hitler achieved Anschluss
Where did the anschluss occur?
There was a plebiscite (vote) in Austria, asking the people of Austria whether they wanted anschluss. 99.75% of the voters said they wanted anschless so Hitler marched into Vienna in 1938 in triumph. He had control of another country yet again ! Help this helped Elle x

How did Adolf Hitler become a powerful leader?
he when around asking people to buy apples and to vote for him :)
What did Hitler mean when he said i wish to thank him who allowed me to return to my homeland?
The full quote is this: "I wish to thank Him who allowed me to return to my homeland so that I could return it to my German Reich!"This came from a speech that Hitler gave in Vienna in April 1938, the day before a plebiscite which would confirm the German annexation of Austria. In March 1938, the German military had invaded and occupied Austria. The Austrians had planned to hold a plebiscite which, if passed, would have disallowed Austria from unifying with Germany, and Hitler invaded to prevent the vote from happening.Hitler's speech was short, and included the quoted line, above. The line is Hitler thanking God for allowing him to conquer Austria, which is the country where Hitler was born and raised.
How did Hitler manage to take over Austria?
Germany tried to take over Austria almost as soon as he came to power, and had the Austrian (leader) Dolfuss, murdered. He then tried again in March of 1938. Hitler told the SS or SA to put pressure on Austria by parading through the streets of Austria demonstrating how good Germany is and how Austria should accept to the Anschluss 'Union' between Austria and Germany. These men were also violent and the Austrian police were struggling to control the violence and corruption. Then Hitler said something along the lines of: ''You seem to be having trouble, put my man in charge of the police force and he will sort everything out.'' The Austrian police were reluctant but Hitler had one of his raging furies at the new Austrian prime-minister and he gave up to Hitler. Hitler was so confident that he called a plebiscite 'vote' in which he cheated when German officials counted the votes, Hitler claimed that 99.75% of Austrian voters voted for the 'Anschluss' between Germany and Austria to be conducted. Hitler now had full power over Austria, had control over the whole Austrian army, and economic supplies such as iron and steel.
