Lying in the heart of Europe,Austria is dominated by the Alps in the west,while fertile plains make up the east and north.A separate republic after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,Austria was absorbed into Hitler's Germany in 1938.It regained independence in 1955 after the departure of the last Soviet troops from the Allied Occupation Force.Its economy encompasses successful high-tech sectors,a tourist industry which attracts wealthier visitors,and a strong agricultural base.Having joined the EU in 1995,in 2002 it was one of 12 EU states to adopt the euro.
Background:
Once the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire,Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat in World War I.Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945,Austria's status remained unclear for a decade.A State Treaty signed in 1955 ended the occupation,recognized Austria's independence,and forbade unification with Germany.A constitutional law that same year declared the country's "perpetual neutrality" as a condition for Soviet military withdrawal.Following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and Austria's entry into the European Union in 1995,some Austrian's have called into question this neutrality.A prosperous,democratic country,Austria entered the European Monetary Union in 1999.
