Germany wanted to Unite Austria and Germany because Hitler was an Austrian and there were 8 million German speakers in Austria, It would mean if they reunited with Austria, more living space, which was one of Hitlers main political aims. It also meant that again they would be breaking the treaty of Versailles and Pushing Britain and France even more to their limits. As well as this It would mean that those 8 million German speakers would probably want to Join Germany , more people in Hitlers army, causing a greater threat of war.

Hitler wanted to unite all Germans into one " people's realm". He did this by annexing Austria, and invading neighboring countries (Czechoslovakia, Poland and so on...) which had German minority populations. Hitler believed Germans (Aryans) to be superior to non-Aryans, so he wanted all Germans to have the proper resources and space to grow in strength and live, as he wiped out other races of people who he believed to be inferior (Slavs, Jews and so on).

Austria was a German speaking nation, as was Germany. Also, Hitler was an Austrian, and believed in the concept of a Greater Germany covering all the German speaking lands.

Why did Hitler feel justified in taking over Austria?

Hitler took over Austria in 1938 because many links were shared between Germany. He created an 'Anschluss' with Austria. Hitler also was born in Austria and this made him want Austria. Hitler also had the idea of 'Lebensraum' or Living room/space in which he gelt was needed, so he took Austria. Austria did not really mind this as it had economic problems within from being separated from Germany previously. If you are in PA Cyber it is because Hitler believed in uniting the German-speaking peoples of Europe. And that can be found on page 828 of your textbook... =D Also, he tried to take over Austria in 1934 but was stopped by Mussolini. When Hitler allied with him, he was able to take over Austria without interference! (Sarah) Austrians are Ethnic Germans.

In the aftermath of World War 1 many Austrians wanted union with Germany, but this was forbidden by the Allies. In 1938 the Nazis annexed Austria, and Hitler was greeted with delirious applause in Linz and Vienna - applause that made even the Nuremberg rallies look tame.

Why didn't Austria want German unification?

During the early nineteenth century, Prussia was the only German state that could match the power and influence of the Austrian Empire. They were comparable in terms of size, population and wealth. Austria opposed the idea of German unification as it saw this as a threat to its own empire. Although they were a minority, there was a significant percentage of German-speakers in the empire. If they broke away to join a unified Germany, Austria would be smaller and weaker. To this end, Prussia and Austria were rivals.
