Austria was the German speaking remnant of the pre-WW1 Austro-Hungarian Empire. This empire was broken up into separate states in 1919 by the war's British and French victors. The Austrian remnant, constituted as an independent state by the Treaty of Versailles, almost immediately voted for union with Germany in a plebicite, or national vote. Contrary to their official policy of national self-determination, the victors refused to allow this to happen. It was more important to them that Germany be kept as weak as possible. By the late 1930s Germany was strong enough to ignore the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty. In March of 1938 the Anschluss united Germany and Austria into a single state. The vast majority of Austrians welcomed the unification, which was also an important part of Hitler's well publicized plan to unite all of Europe's Germans into a single state, Greater Germany, 'Grossdeutschland'.
