The Austro-Hungarian colonism was not significant, but we got some lands in the whole world.

Franz Joseph's Land:



"In 1873, an Austrian expedition, according to its leader Julius von Payer, was sent to the North Pole tasked with finding the Northeast Passage.[10] The expedition actually ended up close

to the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, the easternmost point of Europe. Karl Weyprecht, the expedition's secondary leader, claimed the second intended destination after the Northeast Passage was the North Pole.[11]

The cost of the journey is estimated to be around 175,000 florins. The project was promoted and financially supported by several Austrian noblemen, which included Count Johann Nepomuk Wilczek and Count Ödön Zichy.[12] The head-ship was named after the Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff. The Tegetthoff weighed 220 tonnes, 125.78 feet long (38.34 m.), and had a 100 horsepower (75 kW) steam engine). [13]

The Tegetthoff left port at Tromsř, Noway in July of 1872. Soon after arriving in the Arctic Circle, the Tegetthoff became locked in pack ice and drifted for the remainder of their journey.[10] While drifting within the ice, the explorers discovered an archipelago and decided to name it after the then-current Emperor Franz Joseph. The crew later was able to dock and performed several sled expeditions on the island chain.[12]

Two years later in May 1874, Captain Weyprecht decided to abandon the ice-locked Tegetthoff and believed the crew could return to the mainland by sleds and boats.[11] On the 14th of August, the expedition reached the open sea. The expedition then arrived at Novaya Zemlya, where a Russian fishing vessel rescued them. The crew was dropped off in Vardř, Norway; and were able to arrive in Austria-Hungary by train from Hamburg.[10]"

North Borneo:



"In 1878, German-Austrian dignitary Baron Gustav von Overbeck purchased land from the Sultanates of Brunei and Sulu; and acquired additional land from the American Trading Company of Borneo, to form what was then known as North Borneo.[15] A friend of Overbeck's, William Clarke Cowie, had influence with the Sulu Sultanate, which allowed him to purchase even more land to add to North Borneo.

Following these purchases, Overbeck journeyed to Europe, where he then attempted to sell the newly created North Borneo by promoting it as a penal colony. He approached Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, the German Empire, and Italy.[16] Due to the overall lack of interest, von Overbeck later sold these lands to Alfred Dent, a British colonial merchant who then formed the British North Borneo Company in 1880.[15][16] One year later, the United Kingdom revived interest in the territory, and later bought North Borneo from Dent in 1881.[17]

North Borneo could technically be considered an Austrian colony for one reason. Baron von Overbeck, while German, was the Austro-Hungarian Consul to Hong Kong, so the control of Borneo under an Austrian national would define it as a possession of Austria-Hungary. "

Port Of Tianjin:



"Austria-Hungary participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance from 1899-1901. This grand alliance was formed to contain the Boxer Rebellion in China.[19] The Austro-Hungarian Navy helped in suppressing the rising. However, Austria-Hungary sent the smallest force of any nation. Only four cruisers and a force of only 296 marines were dispatched.[20]

Even so, on 27 December 1902, Austria gained a concession zone in Tianjin as part of the reward for its contribution to the Alliance.[21][22] The Austrian concession zone was 150 acres (0.61 km2) in area; which was slightly larger than the Italian, but smaller than the Belgian zone. The self-contained concession had its own prison, school, barracks, and hospital.[21] It also contained the Austro-Hungarian consulate and its citizens were under Austrian, not Chinese, rule.[21]

The concession was provided with a small garrison, and Austria-Hungary proved unable to maintain control of its concession during the Great War. The concession zone was swiftly occupied on the Chinese declaration of war on the Central Powers.[21] On 14 August 1917 the lease was terminated, (along with that of the larger German concession in the same city).

Austria abandoned all claims to Tianjin on 10 September 1919.[23] Hungary also made a similar recognition in 1920.[23] However, despite its relatively short life-span of 15 years, the Austrians left their mark on that area of the city, as can be seen in the Austrian architecture that still stands in the city.[24] "
