Austrian National Socialist Party

The Austrian National Socialist Party was a political group in Austria that adhered to Nazi ideology, emphasizing extreme nationalism, authoritarian rule, and Aryan racial superiority. It gained prominence in the early 20th century and collaborated with Nazi Germany during the Anschluss period when Austria was annexed in 1938. The party promoted anti-Semitic policies, militarism, and suppression of political dissent. Its activities contributed to Austria's integration into the Nazi regime, leading to widespread persecution during World War II. After the war, the party was disbanded, and Austria worked to denounce its ideology and promote democracy.
