Could Austria-Hungary have managed to acquire overseas colonies during the New Imperialism era? What areas might Austria-Hungary have been able to acquire, and how might they have been administered and developed?

I support TFSmiths121's ideasSeems like the Med would have been the most likely; they were already strategic rivals with the Ottomans/Turks, Russians, and Italians in mid ot late Nineteenth Century and afterward...
Send Tegetthoff et al to Libya in the 1860s to steal a march on the Italians?
Some part of Anatolia? The Levant?
Weirder things have happened.
The British idea of Cyprus as something worth grabbing, for example.
In that case, a protectorate over Tunisia established around the time of the Berlin Congress?Could Austria-Hungary have managed to acquire overseas colonies
But those weren't overseas colonies.Wasn't A-H a colonial power with all its colonies in Europe?
Bosnia.

You could have the Austrians take all the Land that OTL British empire aquired. From their ports of Trieste, Pola, Fiume and Ragusa, the navy could land easily on:
- Gibraltar
- Cyprus
- Egypt
- Crimea
The navy could go as far as the West coast of Africa, but any further would in my opinion be trying to hard.
I'm sure Italy would LOVE that idea...![]()
