Anti-Austrian sentiment (also known as Austrophobia) refers to hostile sentiment toward the nation of Austria and/or Austrians.
The 19th century British Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone, famously said in 1880 that "in the whole world it was impossible to place a finger on a spot and say, 'Here Austria did good'." In the following years, Gladstonian Liberals in Britain frequently repeated this saying.{{cite journal |last1=May |first1=Arthur J. |date=February 1961 |title=R. W.
