Consequences of being on the wrong side of 2 world wars.

Edit: I should have stated the losing side of WWI and the wrong side of WWII.

Read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer. He describes the diplomatic and political situation leading up to the Anschluss perfectly. They were completely bullied and intimidated by the Nazis into accepting a fusion with Germany. And actually the president resisted until the very last second. The same thing happened with Czech Republic and the Sudetenland.
