Summary/Abstract: The article presents the influence of the question of the national identity of Aus- trian society on the threat to its sovereignty between 1918 and 1938. An analysis of the con- cepts of Austrian political parties and Austrian foreign policy in the interwar period is carried out in the context of the formation of Austrian national identity. Austria had more problems with its identity than other countries; its modern nation-building faced delays in developing its identity.
