Cold War
After the Second World War, the Allies split Austria into multiple occupation zones but reunified it in the 1950s, unlike Germany.[1] Austria declared neutrality in 1955 and did not allow U.S. or Soviet military bases in its territory.[2]
Politics
From January 2020 onwards, a fragile coalition of the right-wing Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Greens has governed. The far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) won the elections with 28,85% in the fall of 2024.[3] Since March 3th 2025 the coalition of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), and the neo liberal party "New Austria" (NEOS) govern Austria.
Neo-Nazism and Holocaust denial are growing in Austria due to populist and anti-immigration rhetoric.[4]
