The correct answer is:

**by putting Austrian Nazis in charge of the government**.

The Austrian government, particularly under Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, faced pressure from growing Nazi influence within Austria. In March 1938, after a series of crises and increased Nazi agitation, Schuschnigg's government was increasingly dominated by pro-Nazi elements, which paved the way for the annexation of Austria into Germany (the Anschluss) later that month.
