Introduction and Brief History
Once the center of power for the
large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic
after its defeat in World War I. Following annexation by Nazi Germany in
1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945, Austria's
status remained unclear for a decade. A State Treaty signed in 1955 ended
the occupation, recognized Austria's independence, and forbade unification
with Germany. A constitutional law that same year declared the country's
"perpetual neutrality" as a condition for Soviet military withdrawal. Following
the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and Austria's entry into the European
Union in 1995, some Austrians have called into question this neutrality.
A prosperous, democratic country, Austria entered the Economic and Monetary
Union in 1999.
