Denmark had Caribbean islands and part of the African coast. Sweden had some North American colonies before losing them to the British. Germany's colonies are pretty well known, look them up. I didn't know Austria had a colony either.

I'd be curious to know what colonies Austria and Greece had. Also, the map is missing Livland(which was technically a vassal of Poland-Lithuania during that time) had a colony on the African Gold Coast, so technically Latvia should have one.

The map doesn't seem 100% accurate.

This appears to be the Austrian one (from Wikipedia): "Colonization of the Nicobar Islands was a short-lived and unsuccessful attempted colony on the archipelago in the eastern Indian Ocean."

By the way, the Austrian (Austro-Hungarian) colony is probably Franz Joseph Land, currently a part of Russia.

I am not sure if it can be called a colony per se, it wasn't inhabited and still isn't.

You got it right

Germany had colonies in Africa. Sweden and Denmark had a few tiny colonies in the Americas and I think one in Africa as well. They might be counting Finland as a former Swedish colony. I think they're counting the Danish settlements in India as colonies (since Denmark has 9), which I'm not sure should be considered colonies. The Netherlands used to be an Austrian colony. I'm not sure about Norway. Maybe there were some Norwegian colonies in the Americas, not sure really.
