With the foundation of the new (German-)Austrian Republic in October 1918, a strict parliamentarian system replaced the “war dictatorship”. Yet the increasingly authoritarian policy of the party not only turned against “Western democracy”, but resulted in civil-war situations. In 1934 the government, dominated by the “war generation”, enacted a non-democratic constitution without any popularly elected parliament.
