The Kingdom of Hungary wanted to upgrade its motorized units with light and medium tanks in the late interwar era. However, it did not have any domestic tank designs to use. This forced the Hungarian leaders to look for vehicle designs from other countries that they could import or produce under license. They found what they were looking for in Czechoslovakia and started to work on the 40M Turan I and its later variants.
How can we explain the lack of overseas colonies for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, compared to other European powers like Germany or Britain? Did they have any desire or ambition to acquire them? What regions of the world were they interested in?
