Brief History. Austria is a landlocked country of central Europe. It was settled by Celtic tribes, the region was conquered (15 B.C.-A.D. 10) by the Romans and later (8th century) by Charlemagne, who made it a border state of the Carolingian Empire. In the 13th century, Austria passed to the Hapsburg family and became the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was later reduced to a small republic after being defeated in the World War I. Annexed by Adolph Hitler in 1938, Austria regained full sovereignty in 1955. A prosperous, democratic country. Austria entered the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999.
