Question

what were the results of the 1938 anschluss between germany and austria

Answer 1

Germany peacefully occupies and annexes Austria.

Answer 2

Austria gave up her sovereignty and became part of the greater German Reich. This was achieved diplomatically without an armed struggle.

Answer 3

Austra was annexed by Germany with little to no reaction from France, the UK or Italy. This increased Germany's economic potential and greatly contributed to Hitler's popularity at home. Moreover, Hitler was now convinced that the West did not want war and demanded more and more, just as the Munich Treaty (1938) and later the annexations of Czechoslovakia (1939) and Memel (1939) show us.
