History
The history of Austria can be traced back to the Roman Empire. The area that is now Austria was part of the Roman province of Noricum. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the area was ruled by a number of different Germanic tribes. In the 10th century, the area was united under the rule of the Babenberg dynasty. The Babenbergs ruled Austria until the 13th century, when they were overthrown by the Habsburg dynasty.
The Habsburgs ruled Austria for over 600 years. During this time, Austria became a major power in Europe. The Habsburgs were the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, and they also ruled Spain, the Netherlands, and parts of Italy.
In the 19th century, Austria was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a major power in Europe, but it was also a very complex and unstable state. The empire was made up of many different ethnic groups, and there was a lot of tension between the different groups.
In 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed after World War I. Austria became a republic, and it was a member of the League of Nations. In 1938, Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany.
After World War II, Austria was divided into four occupation zones. The Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France each occupied one zone. In 1955, Austria regained its independence.
