Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This culminated in World War II, which began in Europe in September 1939. Prewar and wartime territorial expansion eventually brought millions of Jewish people under German control. On March 11–13, 1938, Nazi Germany annexed the neighboring country of Austria. This event is known as the Anschluss.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subsequently, the Anschluss of the Third German Reich and Germany-Austria occurred in 1938, reuniting both countries for the first time since the 1870s. Austria became Ostmark (Eastern Region) under Hitler’s regime.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main part of Austria itself was a German state that was excluded from the unification. There is no question that the Austrians think they are part of greater Germany (as evidenced by naming themselves the Republic of German Austria after WW1, making the allies forbid them from joining Germany).

Detailed explanation-4: -On April 10, 1938, Austrians were asked whether they supported the March 13 Anschluss. 99.75% of voters said that they supported Germany’s annexation of Austria into the Third Reich.

Detailed explanation-5: -Austria had wanted a Großdeutsche Lösung (greater Germany solution), whereby the German states would unite under the leadership of German Austrians (Habsburgs).
