When did Austria invade France?

1918-1934 That answer is rubbish! Austria was part of Germany until 1866. Germany untied with Austria as allies in World War One, and in World War Two, Hitler formed an 'Anschluss', or pact, giving over power of Austria to him, so technically Austria was never invaded by Germany, because they allied with Germany.

Did Germany invade Austria in World War 1?

No, Germany did not invade Austria during World War I. In fact, Austria-Hungary was an ally of Germany at the time, and both countries were part of the Central Powers. The war was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, which led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, prompting the involvement of Germany and other nations.


When was world war 1 declared as war?

The catalyst for World War I, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, occurred on June 28, 1914. Despite military and diplomatic action immediately following the assassination, war was not officially declared for another month. On July 28, 1914 Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. In an almost domino effect, country after country followed suit, declaring war on each other throughout the month of August, until the majority of Europe was consumed. The United States did not enter the War until 1917. For a more thorough look at the outbreak of World War I, visit The Encyclopedia Britannica's website and their entry on World War I.

What country refused to honor its alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary?

Italy was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary when World War I started. Italy said that since Austria-Hungary started the war by declaring war on Serbia, and the alliance was a defensive pact (ie if one country is attacked, the others would help), they were under no obligation to join the war. At that point in history, Italians had a long-standing dislike of Austria. Austria had once ruled most of northern Italy, and resisted efforts for Italy to unify (until the mid-1800's, Italy was broken up into many smaller countries); when World War I started, Austria still ruled some Italian cities ("Italia Irridentia", or "unredeemed Italy"). They even fought a war against each other in the 1860's while Austria was fighting Prussia. So it's not surprising that Italy didn't have much desire to help Austria fight her war against Serbia.
