On the Fact that the Austrian Public (Post WW1) Voted Almost Unanimously to Join Germany but Were Forbidden from Doing so by the Victorious Allies On the Flimsy Grounds that it Would Strengthen Germany

So kinda' like Czechoslovakia was strengthened by the addition of the Sudetenland............or like Italy was strengthened by the addition of the Brenner Pass............or like Poland was strengthened by the creation of the Polish Corridor leading to Danzig............or like Lithuania was strengthened by the addition of Memel............or like England and France were strengthened by the addition of Germany's African and Pacific colonies?......O.K., I get it now.......and so much for "self-determination.
