Austrofascism had a leader who was which Austrian Christian Social and Patriotic Front statesman born on October 4, 1892?
Engelbert Dollfuss Engelbert Dollfuss (German: "Engelbert Dollfuß" , ] ; 4 October 1892 – 25 July 1934) was an Austrian Christian Social and Patriotic Front statesman. Having served as Minister for Forests and Agriculture, he ascended to Federal Chancellor in 1932 in the midst of a crisis for the conservative government. In early 1933, he shut down parliament, banned the Austrian Nazi party and assumed dictatorial powers. Suppressing the Socialist movement in February 1934, he cemented the rule of “austrofascism” through the authoritarian "First of May Constitution". Dollfuss was assassinated as part of a failed coup attempt by Nazi agents in 1934. His successor Kurt Schuschnigg maintained the regime until Adolf Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1938.
German Conservative Party The German Conservative Party (German: "Deutschkonservative Partei" , DKP) was a right-wing political party of the German Empire, founded in 1876. It largely represented the wealthy landowning elite Prussian Junkers. The party was a response to German unification, universal and equal franchise in national elections, and rapid industrialization. It changed from a diffuse party of broad ideology into an interest party in Bismarckian Germany. In the early 1870s, Bismarck formed his majority with the base in the National Liberal party, which emphasized free trade and anti-Catholicism. He broke with them in the late 1870s, by which time the Free Conservative Party and the German Conservative Party had brought together the landed Junkers in the East, and the rapidly growing industrial leadership in the major cities. They now became the main base of Bismarck's support, and successive chancellors down to 1918.
