Weimar's Manna from Heaven

Well, Dollfuss survive, and Austrofascism remain strong with him in charge.

What's the relationship between the government and the junkers in Germany? Any chance of a conflict with the old conservative guard?

There's been a semi-conflict over Osthilfe- my plan long-term is indeed to force a conflict, now that public opinion is against the Junkers.
 
Dollfuss' "Staendestaat" was now in a very strong position. With a friendly Italy to its south, a non-interventionist Germany to its north and its domestic enemies crushed, Dollfuss intended to reform the state in the way he believed in, and to keep a low profile as a nation.

The same could not be said in France. After riots in February 1934 over the dismissal of the far-right Parisian police chief Jean Chiappe, the disturbances had grown worse. The visit of Severing had accidentally inflamed matters even more. The Doumergue government was struggling to keep the peace in some areas.

France would be in turmoil by the end of the year.
 
Will this be continued at all? This combines two really intriguing ideas: 1. Dolfuss's Austrofascist regime surviving (and in this case, flourishing), and 2. the presence of a vastly different state of affairs in shaky Weimar Germany. Please return to this eventually!
