Dollfuss, Engelbert (1892-1934)

Austrian Christian Socialist politician. He was appointed chancellor in 1932, and in 1933 suppressed parliament and ruled by decree. In February 1934 he crushed a protest by the socialist workers by force, and in May Austria was declared a ‘corporative’ state. The Nazis attempted a coup on 25 July; the Chancellery was seized and Dollfuss murdered.
