First of all, 'Germans' are no ethnic group. Secondly, Austrians have just as much (if not more) in common with Italians, Slovenes and Hungarian people.




Are you talking about the fucking historic Austro-Hungarian Empire? The Hapsbergs' kingdom? Lol? Sure there are non-Germans in Austria. So what?


German is an ethnicity. It tends to apply to, oh I dunno, people of germanic descent whose native language is German.

Germany didn't even exist until the later 1800s. There had been many smaller independent germanic states including: Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and AUSTRIA. Austria didn't become part of the original unified Germany for political reasons alone.


PS: Hitler and Nazism were more popular in Austria than in Germany. When Austria was annexed, the Nazi tanks were cheered. "The Sound of Music" was bullshit.
