who left austria a year ago lived there when austria was annexed by germany mistakes in government man agement and lack of cooperation by the rest of europe were two important causes contributing to the annexation of austria he said he pointed out that the an nexation was a climax to a century of rivalry for the domination of the german states although austria's financial condition following the world war was weak the story was different preceeding the annexation and germany profited more from the action than did austria nelken said he went on to relate how first dollfuss and then schushnigg tried to suppress the rising national socialist party he said italy prevented an invasion by german troops following the nazi putsch in 1934 when dollfuss was assass inated germany's military ma chine
