| 1933, March | |
| Growing antigovernmental agitation in Austria, following the victory of the National Socialists in Germany. To meet the situation, Dollfuss suspended parliamentary government (March 7) and prohibited parades and assemblies; freedom of the press was also curtailed (March 8). Nevertheless the Austrian Nazis staged a great demonstration and riot in Vienna on March 29, and the Styrian branch of the Heimwehr became frankly Nazi. The government (May 4) forbade the wearing of uniforms by all political parties. Nazi agitators were harried from the land, and relations with Germany became tense. On June 1, Hitler imposed a charge of 1,000 marks on Germans desiring to visit Austria, thereby completely ruining the Austrian tourist business. | 1 |
