∙ 16y agoThe annexation of Austria took place in March 1938 - in other words before World War 2. It was immensely popular in Austria at the time. Ever since the collapse of the Habsburg empire in 1918, many Austrians felt that their future lay with Germany. Many Germans regarded Austria as German, but the peace treaties of 1919 forbade even a customs union between the two countries, let alone political union. While Hitler entered Linz and Vienna in triumph he was greeted with delirious applause. Some Viennese promptly celebrated by going to the Jewish Quarter and forcing some Jews to sweep the streets with toothbrushes.

1918-1934 That answer is rubbish! Austria was part of Germany until 1866.
