Austria
Once the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire,Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat in World War I.Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945,Austria's status remained unclear for a decade.A State Treaty signed in 1955 ended the occupation,recognized Austria's independence,and forbade unification with Germany.A constitutional law that same year declared the country's "perpetual neutrality" as a condition for Soviet military withdrawal.The Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and Austria's entry into the European Union in 1995 have altered the meaning of this neutrality.A prosperous,democratic country,Austria entered the EU Economic Monetary Union in 1999.
China
For centuries China stood as a leading civilization,outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences,but in the 19th and early 20th centuries,the country was beset by civil unrest,major famines,military defeats,and foreign occupation.After World War II,the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that,while ensuring China's sovereignty,imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people.After 1978,his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled.For much of the population,living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded,yet political controls remain tight
Finland
Finland was a province and then a grand duchy under Sweden from the 12th to the 19th centuries and an autonomous grand duchy of Russia after 1809.It won its complete independence in 1917.During World War II,it was able to successfully defend its freedom and resist invasions by the Soviet Union - albeit with some loss of territory.In the subsequent half century,the Finns made a remarkable transformation from a farm/forest economy to a diversified modern industrial economy; per capita income is now on par with Western Europe.A member of the European Union since 1995,Finland was the only Nordic state to join the euro system at its initiation in January 1999.
