Anschluss is a Germarm word meaning "joining together." It is a word
that was heard a great deal in the years before World War II. Germany
and Austria were two separate countries then, as they are now, but Adolf
Hitler, the German dictator, wanted to join them together as one
country. His argument was that they spoke the same language and so
should be united. Some of the Austrian people wanted to join with
Germany, but not all of them. They would not vote for Anschluss.
So Hitler sent the German armies into Austria, in 1938, and forced the
Anschluss. It was about the same thing as if the United States sent its
armies into Canada to make Canada become part of the United States,
because the people speak the same language and the countries are next to
each other. When World War II ended, Austria became a separate country
again
