In 1938 the First Austrian Republic became part of Nazi Germany through an enforced annexation, the Anschluss.

Karl Renner formed a Provisional Government in late April 1945 and separated Austria from Germany by declaration. Following the end of hostilities, the provisional government was quickly recognized.
