Anchulss was popularly supported by most Austrians. However, Hitler and the Austrian Nazis stirred up a lot of violence and trouble for the Austrian government in the years leading up to Anschluss.

In 1934, the potential Anschluss (annexation) of Austria by Nazi Germany was prevented by the Austrian government, led by Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. Dollfuss's regime, which was authoritarian and anti-Nazi, took measures to suppress Nazi sympathizers within Austria.

The Austrian Anschluss, or annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in March 1938, violated the Treaty of Versailles and heightened tensions in Europe. It emboldened Adolf Hitler's expansionist ambitions and demonstrated the failure of appeasement policies by other European powers.

These aggressive moves ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War II, as they undermined international stability and confidence in diplomatic resolutions.
