Answer 2

The correct answer is A) To unify German people in one nation.

Germany invaded Austria in March 1938. Germans gave the reason that all German-speaking nations should be united for the Third Reich. It was called by the Nazis “Der Anschluss” that meant “a connection” between Germany and Austria.

The invasion violated Article 80 of the Treaty of Versailles.
