description: After the breakup of the Habsburg monarchy, Austrians of diverse political persuasions turned quickly toward Anschluss with the new German Republic. Between World Wars I &amp; II the Anschluss movement figured large on the horizon of European history. Its ''fulfillment'' in 1938, when Hitler incorporated Austria into Germany, immediately undermined the stability &amp; peace of Europe &amp; the world. A year &amp; a half after Austria's absorption into the Greater Reich, Europe was aflame. The subject of this study is the early postwar Anschluss movement of 1918-1919, led by Austria's Socialists.
