Why did Austria accept German Anschluss?

From 1867 through 1918, the nation was locked in the Dual Monarchy of AustriaHungary, until their defeat in World War One brought about a split. By this point, the Republic of GermanAustria was born and lasted only a short time, before being replaced in September of 1919 by the First Austrian Republic. The new state survived just under two decades, with Austrian autonomy being challenged once more as the Germans marched onto Austrian soil on March 12, 1938. The annexation, known as Anschluss, seemed to yet again confirm that Austria was simply destined to never be a country of its own but why? And why was it so easy for the Germans to annex Austria?
