The Anschluss War of 1938
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss of the Federal State of Austria is not assassinated on July 25th 1934 during the July Putsch, a failed coup d'état attempt against the Austrofascist regime by Austrian Nazis. Thus on February 12th 1938 Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss (not his successor Kurt Schuschnigg) meets with Adolf Hitler at the Berchtesgaden where Adolf Hitler demands that the Chancellor signs an agreement which will see the transfer of power in Austria to the Austrian National Socialists, appointment of pro-Nazi ministers, hundred officers to be exchanged between the Austrian and the German armies and all imprisoned Nazis to be amnestied be reinstated.
After hearing this the Chancellor who is not amused by the demands that Hitler has made refuses to sign the Berchtesgaden agreement as it is called and despite abusive and threatening from Adolf Hitler to sign the agreement he leaves informing him that Austria will remain a free country as long as he lives, two days later he is wounded in a failed assassination attempt (the July 25th 1934 never happened do the people being arrested before they could kill him) which causes the Austria people to stand behind their chancellor while in the capitol of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler decides that if Austria will not join under be pressure or treat then he will have the German army invade Austria instead.
So my question is how the Anschluss War look like and what will Great Britain and the French Republic responds be.
Here is also something interesting that might show that Austria might not be able to fight Germany of for long as it seems they only had ammunition for three days of fighting: Austrian 1938 Army Capability (click on the PDF link to read it).
