Federal State of Austria
The
Federal State of Austria
(
Austrian German
:
Bundesstaat Österreich
;
colloquially
known as the
Ständestaat
, "Corporate State") refers to
Austria
between 1934 and 1938 while it was a
one-party state
led by the
clerico-fascist
Fatherland's Front
. The
Ständestaat
concept, derived from the notion of
Stände
("
estates
" or "
corporations
"), was propaganda advocated by leading politicians such as
Engelbert Dollfuß
and
Kurt Schuschnigg
. The result was an
authoritarian
government based on a mix of conservative
Catholic
and
Italian Fascist
influences.
