Anti-Austrian sentiment


Anti-Austrian sentiment refers to hostile sentiment toward the nation of Austria and/or its people.
In the English-speaking world, Anti-Austrian sentiment is sometimes associated with a distrust of all things Germanic. Articles in the Daily Mail regularly advocated anti-German sentiments throughout the 20th century, telling their readers to refuse service at restaurants by Austrian or German waiters on the claim that they were spies and told them that if a German-sounding waiter claimed to be Swiss that they should demand to see the waiter's passport.
