This paper examines the Austrian Republic under the control of the Allied powers. In April 1945, Austria was released from Hitler's Nazis, and came under the control of the Allies. Under various restrictions of the Allied powers, Austrian political parties, the provisional central government, and provisional local governments played an important part in the reconstruction and democratization of Austria. The Austrian provisional central government enacted the Provisional Constitution of 1945, which declared Austria a combined legislative and administrative power, and a centralized, united state. After a while, federalism was restored by an amendment of the Provisional Constitution. In December 1945, the Federal Constitution of 1929 came into effect again, in place of the Provisional Constitution of 1945. In 1955, the Austrian Republic recovered complete sovereignty and, still more, declared itself a permanently neutral state.
