mar 12, 1938 - The Anschluss
Description:
The Anschluss, also known as the Anschluss Österreichs, was the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938. The idea of an Anschluss began after the unification of Germany excluded Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871. The Nazis justified the invasion by claiming that Austria had descended into chaos. They circulated fake reports of rioting in Vienna and street fights caused by communists.This led to WW2 because Germany shows its growing power and greed, but The Allies still don't take action and continues to appease Germany.
