Austrofascism


 

Austrofascism is a term which is frequently used to describe the authoritarian rule installed in Austria between 1934 and 1938. It was based on a ruling party, the Patriotic Front (Vaterländische Front) and the Heimwehr (Homeguard) paramilitary units. Leaders were Engelbert Dollfuß and, after Dollfuß' assassination, Kurt Schuschnigg, who originally were politicians of the Christian Socialist Party, which was quickly integrated into the new movement.
