Austro-German relations had been strained since the German-backed putsch of 25 July 1934. The impetus for a rapprochement came from Fascist Italy, which, by 1936, was pursuing its own rapprochement with Germany over the latter's support for its invasion of Ethiopia. This left Austria diplomatically isolated. The agreement was the result of Italo-German pressure. Schuschnigg personally took over negotiations after a meeting with Benito Mussolini on 5–6 June 1936 at Rocca delle Caminate.
