The '''Austrian Civil War''' (High German: ''Österreichischer Bürgerkrieg'') was a 40-month civil conflict in [[Austria]] between [[National republicanism|Austrian national republicans]] and and the established liberal Republic of Austria, resulting in the latter's overthrow and the creation of the Austrian National Republic in July 1965. It was a conflict seen by many outside Austria, particularly those affiliated with the [[Organization of Democratic Nations]], as a proxy conflict of the [[Silent War]].
The war had its roots in political divisions within Austria in the aftermath of the [[Great War]] and the subsequent [[Russia|Russian]] occupation, which directly introduced the ideology of national republicanism to Austria in the wake of the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. In 1940, the Republic of Austria was established at Vienna with [[Organization of Democratic Nations|ODN]] support. Throughout its 22-year existence, it remained unpopular with the Austrian public and particularly Austrian nationalists, who viewed it as a foreign puppet government subservient to the interests of the [[United Kingdom]]. ▼

Throughout the war, constant low-level military engagements dominated the mountainous west of the country. Only from January to July 1965 did larger engagements occur; engagements that ultimately contributed the most to deaths of over 40,000 Austrian civilians and soldiers. ▼

In the aftermath of the civil war, the ODN became incredibly apprehensive of the new national republic right in the heart of central Europe, sparking a massive wave of anti-national republican sentiment and fear across the continent. The [[Rhineland]] and the Netherlands, as the nations most concerned about Austria, took charge in attempts to disestablish the national republic. ▼
