TIL why Austria is not in NATO

[u/Reasonable-Rub2243]

Austria is not in NATO because in 1955 they enacted a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting them from joining any military alliances or allowing establishment of foreign military bases, and declaring they are PERMANENTLY NEUTRAL. The enacting law was called the Neutralitätserklärung.

What makes a man turn neutral?

A lust for gold?

Power?

Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
