Why didn't the Austro-Hungarian Empire have a colonial empire like say Germany or Britain? Was there any interest in one? Where did they have their eye on?

I think Emperor Franz Joseph’s distaste for colonialism came from personal experience, after his brother Emperor of Mexico Maximilian I was murdered after French imperial shenanigans tried to place him on the throne of Mexico
@MrCvanegas93
@MrCvanegas93 2 года назад
Albeit official history agrees with you, most people I know recognize the theory that Maximilian I wasn’t killed. He was well-liked by the majority of the upper class Mexicans as he ended up being more liberal than the conservatives who actually put him in power, much to the dislike of the pro-American liberals of the time. It was simply that the president who succeeded him (Benito Juárez), following the orders of his American sponsors, ousted him from power first, destabilizing his regime by financing violent uprisings across the country; surely no American at the time would have found acceptable to share a border with an Austro-Hungarian “protectorate”. However, given both Benito and Max were Freemasons, and they couldn’t have each other killed, he basically allowed his escape through El Salvador, where he sought refuge before sailing back to Vienna, and eventually he died there. Upon inspecting his corpse after the execution by firing squad, his own mother claimed that it could not have been him, as there was no resemblance whatsoever. I recommend you to look up the story behind the Votive Church of the Virgin Mary in Vienna and the story of Justo Armas. See for yourself if the dates add up…

@@Mike-kc5ew Those frequent changes (plus humor value) are why so many other History Matters videos just have the word "stars" there. It's only in the 20th century that the US kinda ran out of territories to make into new states, so the number of stars on the flag settled down: 48 from 1912-59 and 50 from 1960 on.* The two most likely possibilities for new US states are probably Puerto Rico and Washington DC. But both places _heavily_ favor the Democratic Party in national elections, and DC statehood has possible constitutional implications.** So neither have much chance of passing anytime soon.*** * New stars are added on the 4th of July following the new state's admission. Alaska and Hawaii both became states in 1959, but Alaska's statehood came before July 4, and Hawaii's after. ** The 23rd Amendment to the US Constitution (ratified in 1961) gave DC as many Electoral College electors as it would have if it were a state, but no more than the least-populous state -- 3, in practice. If DC became a state, it would likely leave the Capitol Mall area and its government buildings as a much smaller Federal District. But by the 23rd Amendment, that district would still have 3 electoral votes, despite its only residents being the sitting President and any family members or staff who also live at the White House. Giving a dozen or so people a small state's worth of voting power isn't exactly fair, so DC statehood would likely need another constitutional amendment to repeal the 23rd. ***** Without some radical realignment of parties, a big-enough Democrat supermajority in both houses of Congress, or some other state(s) willing to let a Republican-majority area split off as _another_ new state, the Republican Party members in Congress will always use procedural maneuvering to block any attempts at PR or DC statehood.

Actually during the Mexican-American war some people in government were considering annexing all of Mexico in the war, but they decided to go against for multiple reasons. 1. It would be an administrative nightmare considering how much territory they would have to occupy at once and all the people they have to keep in control of. 2. The territory’s that America did take including Arizona, California, Utah, and New Mexico were relatively empty with hardly any people around at all except for some troublesome natives (this was actually why Mexico encouraged immigration into Texas in the first place so that their would be some people there and to keep the natives in check) so America taking those territories weren’t to much of a problem, had they have taken the more populated regions it would mean having to deal with the large Mexican population and all of the social problems that will come with it of taking in people of a different culture, spoke a different language, and a mostly followed the Catholic Church. 3. The biggest thing was the slavery debate, by the time of the war the northern and southern politicians had agreed on the Missouri compromise where all new states that were below the state of Missouri were set as slave states and all at or above Missouri’s geographic location were all free states, so if the U.S were to have token over all of Mexico at that time period it would mean that all of what is modern day Mexico can be set as Slave states which is the last thing the northern wanted as it would give the South a huge advantage in politics and risk the spread of slavery in the south including the possible enslavement of the Mexicans themselves. So after all of that, the government scrapped plans of annexing all of Mexico and just went with taking its mostly barren colonies west of Texas, to ignore the can of worms that would happen with the government.

Overall, you are better off not defining terminology like this one and just accepting whatever the current narrative in your region is. Your country says this and that is a modern colony, you also call it one, your country says this one is not a modern colony, then it isn‘t one (Edit: and yes, what i wrote is stupid, but most of the time it is easier to be a sheep than a thinking human being.

Austria-Hungary always seemed like more of a cultural power in world history, rather than an economic or political one. Admittedly, I haven’t studied it much, but that was the impression I always got. While traveling through Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, they definitely seemed smaller (physically and metaphorically) than most Western European cities I’ve been to, but they had a beauty and charm that many others didn’t.

No, it was an actual power in world history. You need to study your Hapsburg dynasty, my friend. The only reason Austria-Hungary existed in the first place was because of the Hapsburgs. That family cobbled together this large empire over 600 years, much like the Ottoman family cobbled together the Ottoman Empire. The peak of Hapsburg, and thus Austrian, power came in the early 1500s, when Charles, a Hapsburg emperor, had control of Spain, half of Italy, the Low Countries, a few chunks of France and the Holy Roman Empire. He also had Austria, Bohemia and bit of Hungary. It was under this Hapsburg's reign that Spain conquered Mexico and Peru, and that the Spanish circumnavigated the world for the first time.

As I recall, there was even some hesitation within the empire to annex the Balkan territories. In truth, the Habsburg monarchy, being the defacto successors to the HRE, already had more than enough to deal with within their own territories. In an age of nationalism, the mutli-ethnic superstate held together by the flimsiest of medieval pretenses (personal rule of a monarch) was already teetering at the edge of credibility. While other European Empires coincided nicely with a national identity, England was "English", France was "French", Prussia managed to convince its neighbours that Germany was a thing, the Habsburg possessions were little more than the remnants of an ancient Christian feudal order. In a sense it's "overseas possessions" (if we take it to mean peoples and territories ruled by a monarch and an administration of a different ethnic and cultural composition than their own) was right next door. Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, Serbs, Slovaks, Slovenes, etc etc. were the "colonized" people of the German Austrians.

You say England was English. A slight correction, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (at that time) was a multi-national state. England was merely one part of that alongside Scotland, Wales and Ireland (Northern Ireland today). I think in the US (presuming you are American of course) there is some confusion surrounding the differences between England, Great Britain and the UK. The US war of independence, war of 1812 etc were conflicts fought against Great Britain not England. The original 13 colonies were started by England but they achieved independence from Great Britain. A key date in this was the 1707 Act of Union between the kingdoms of England and Scotland which created the new kingdom of Great Britain.

You forgot a key factor: Geography. Austria-Hungary had to go through the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas to get anywhere. The most they could have colonized directly was along the coast of North Africa and perhaps the Levant if they wanted to. Austria-Hungary would have to cross these seas to get to the Atlantic Ocean, or them and the Red Sea to reach the Indian Ocean. Britain had the colonial power it had because they were based on large islands and placed an emphasis on its navy. Russia colonized Alaska but put most of its chips into contiguous expansion through much of Eurasia, putting as many klicks between its people and enemies as possible. Russia's size is its greatest strength but most of its coastline is north of the Arctic Circle and thus freezes over most of the year. France had quite a colonial empire thanks to having shorelines along the Atlantic Ocean, English Channel, and Mediterranean. The fact that they have plenty of rivers and fertile soil for growing crops helps a great deal. America became the superpower that it is today mainly because it borders THREE oceans and covers both hemispheres (American Samoa, though still within the tropics, is SOUTH of the Equator). We're a huge country, having one where at least thirty could fit if there were any meaningful basis for it. And because we're surrounded by so much ocean, we're well away from most powers that would threaten us.

Karl der 5te (Carlos III.). Aber die Habsburger Inzuchtspatzisauger haben das Spanische Reich in den Abgrund geführt. Karl the 5th aka Carlos III (in Spain). But those inbred Habsburger ran the Spanish Empire into the ground. The last one was a drooling r.tard, so Spain got stomped by Napoleon, suffered a serious of internal rebellions etc. and finally the Bourbons took over. Then the Leftists tried to ruin it some more, until they had their shit shoved in by the saviour of Spain, Franco.

@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 It wasn't his to split. He claimed the Spanish inheritance, but Charles II of Spain had in fact given it to Philippe of Anjou (grandson of Louis XIV). War then broke out, with France/Spain on one side and everyone else on the other. The grand alliance finally was forced to recognize Philippe as the king (Felipe V) but Austria was given Belgium and most of Italy as compensation.

The reason they couldnt had a colonial empire is because of their geographical position,if they wanted something in west africa they needed to pass the gibraltar and fight spain,Spain would just block the strait,if they wanted in east africa they would have to fight italy who had a big portion of east africa and would block the austro-hungarian navy in the adriatic

Had Franz Ferdinand not been assassinated and WW1 not started, Austria-Hungary may still be a country today. The Arch Duke was a strong proponent of moving the Empire from a Personal Union, into a Federation (like the US) and giving greater autonomy to it’s many ethnic minorities.
