Anschluss: Austria is annexed by Germany.

March 12, 1938Mack Dean13949 views

The Anschluss was formally proclaimed March 12, 1938, but Hitler’s troops crossed into Austria a day earlier to establish de-facto control of the country after Austrian Nazis staged a coup. A referendum a few weeks later formally ratified the fait accompli, with official results showing more than 99 percent in favor.
