Germain, a plebiscite was held in the southern half of Carinthia on October 10, 1920.

Austria on June 27, 1991. Austria responded by massing troops along the border and

slavian territorial violations. On July 27, Austria pledged, along with Italy, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, and Poland, not to take unilateral action in the conflict.
