There was a thread that I remember where Austria (more powerful ITTL) takes Libya, while Italy remains politically and socially divided. The name of the thread mentioned escapes me, however.
yeah... so, would the op agree that the scenario in the TLs solve his AHC?The Great game? and Sweden gets intro the Crimean War?

Yes, but i am sure they are other ways that Austria could get colonies.
Agreed. There's no reason that they couldn't have just loaded up a couple of ships with settlers and landed them somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike Germany, Austria got to the colonization party while there was still lots of unclaimed land.
Like I said earlier the problem in this scenario seems to be more that Austria didn't really want colonies, not that they couldn't get them. Something in Austria needs to change, not something international.
