wikipedia notes: In February 1934, Nazi agents in the security forces provoked arrests of Social Democrats and unjustified searches for weapons of the Social Democrats' already outlawed Republikanischer Schutzbund. Due to the steps of the Dollfuss dictatorship against known Social Democrats, the Social Democrats called for nationwide resistance against the Government. A civil war began, that lasted from February 12 until February 15, with partly fierce fighting primarily in the East of Austria, especially in the streets of some outer Vienna districts, where large fortress-like municipal workers' buildings were situated, and in the northern, industrial areas of the province of Styria, where Nazi agents had great interest in a bloodbath in between security forces and workers' militias. As a consequence of the resistance, that was put out by police and military power, the Social Democrats were outlawed, and its leaders were imprisoned or fled abroad
