Austria-Hungary can into colony?

[Roy Tuna]

So can someone explain to me why AH can get a claim on Palenstine and Jordan, I don't know much about the Habsburgs but I know that Austria-Hungary never owned Jordan or Palenstine. Paradox pls

[MachoWoman]

Well... obviously it's because it is obviously Palestine and then Austria Jordan with Hungary in a paradox because that's why obviously. Guh how do you not know this?

[Kurf]

You don't have to know much about the Habsburgs to know they never controlled Jordan and Palestine. If I had to guess it's because Jordan's King was present at Otto von Habsburg's funeral and there's some record of Habsburgs giving money to Palestine in the 19th Century.
Honestly I don't know why they did it other than to make you go to war with the Allies.

It is because the House of Habsburg-Lorraine were claimant kings of Jerusalem.
The description of the focus actually does say something about claiming all lands for which the House Habsburg does hold titles or something alike.

Let me quote the "Great Title of the Emperor of Austria", it was in German called:

Seine Kaiserliche und Königliche Apostolische Majestät
N.N.
von Gottes Gnaden Kaiser von Österreich,
König von Ungarn und Böhmen, von Dalmatien, Kroatien, Slawonien, Galizien, Lodomerien und Illyrien;
König von Jerusalem etc.;
Erzherzog von Österreich;
Großherzog von Toskana und Krakau;
Herzog von Lothringen, von Salzburg, Steyer, Kärnten, Krain und der Bukowina;
Großfürst von Siebenbürgen, Markgraf von Mähren;
Herzog von Ober- und Niederschlesien, von Modena, Parma, Piacenza und Guastalla, von Auschwitz und Zator, von Teschen, Friaul, Ragusa und Zara;
Gefürsteter Graf von Habsburg und Tirol, von Kyburg, Görz und Gradisca;
Fürst von Trient und Brixen;
Markgraf von Ober- und Niederlausitz und in Istrien;
Graf von Hohenems, Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg etc.;
Herr von Triest, von Cattaro und auf der Windischen Mark;
Großwojwode der Woiwodschaft Serbien
etc., etc.

Translated to English it would be:

His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty,
By the Grace of God Emperor of Austria,
King of Hungary and Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria and Illyria;
King of Jerusalem, etc.;
Archduke of Austria;
Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow;
Duke of Lorraine, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola and Bukovina;
Grand Prince of Transylvania, Margrave of Moravia;
Duke of Upper and Lower Silesia, of Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, of Auschwitz and Zator, of Teschen, Friaul, Ragusa and Zara;
Princely Count of Habsburg and Tyrol, of Kyburg, Gorizia and Gradisca;
Prince of Trent and Brixen;
Margrave of Upper and Lower Lusatia and in Istria;
Count of Hohenems, Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg etc.;
Lord of Trieste, of Cattaro and on the Windic March;
Grand Voivode of the Voivodeship of Serbia
etc., etc.


As you can see, the Austrian Emperor had, as a direct successor of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, a direct claim on "Jerusalem, etc." (which meant Jordan too, the entire Holy Land)
