The correct answer is:

They wanted a quick return to the former power and glory of Germany.

After the unification of Germany rejected Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871, the notion of Anschluss, meaning a unified Austria and Germany that would establish a Greater Germany, begun spreading.

After WWI,  the Republic of German-Austria failed to form a union with Germany, because of the Treaty of Saint Germain and the Treaty of Versailles. By 1938, Hitler’s annexation of Austria had gathered support from Nazis in both Austria and Germany for a union of the two countries.
