Austrian colonization of Nicobar Islands was a short-lived and unsuccessful attempt of Habsburg Monarchy to make Nicobar Islands (an island chain in the eastern Indian Ocean) their colony.  The colony was established in 1778.  However, by 1783 due to lack of support the last colonists left.  This had previously been a Danish colony and Austria established it with the mistaken assumption that Denmark had abandoned its claims to the islands. <SEP> Danish India was the name given to the colonies of Denmark (Denmark–Norway before 1813) in India, forming part of the Danish colonial empire.  Denmark–Norway held colonial possessions in India for more than 200 years, including the town of Tharangambadi in present-day Tamil Nadu state, Serampore in present-day West Bengal, and the Nicobar Islands, currently part of India's union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.  The Danish presence in India was of little significance to the major European powers as they presented neither a military nor a mercantile threat.  Dano-Norwegian ventures in India, as elsewhere, were typically undercapitalised and never able to dominate or monopolise trade routes in the same way that the companies of Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain could.  Against all odds however they managed to cling to their colonial holdings, and at times, to carve out a valuable niche in international trade by taking advantage of wars between larger countries and offering foreign trade under a neutral flag.  For this reason their presence was tolerated until 1845, when their alliance with a defeated France led to the colony being ceded to the British East Indian company. <SEP> Fejervarya nicobariensis, the Nicobar frog or Nicobar cricket-frog, is a species of frog endemic to the Nicobar Islands of India.  In the past it has been considered to be the same species as "Fejervarya andamanensis" from the neighbouring Andaman Islands, but is now regarded a valid species.  It is restricted to the central and northern group of Nicobar Islands.  It is relatively common in suitable habitat, particularly on Car Nicobar island.  Its preferred habitat are grasslands, where the species breeds in the rainwater puddles.  On Car Nicobar, it also occurs coastal wetlands and along newly cleared forest trails. <SEP>  At its apex the colonial empire spanned four continents (Europe, South America, Africa and Asia).  The period of colonial expansion marked a rise in the status and power of Danes and Norwegians in the union.  Being the hegemon of Denmark-Norway or the "Statsfædrelandet" (lit. The Danish colonial empire (Danish: "danske kolonier" ) and pre Dano-Norwegian empire (Norwegian: "Danmark-Norges kolonier" ) denotes the colonies that Denmark-Norway (Denmark alone after 1814) possessed from 1536 until 1953.  State Fathers' Land), Denmark is where the union's monumental palaces are now located and Copenhagen, today the capital of Denmark, was the city which both Norway and Denmark came to establish as their capital.  Much of the Norwegian population moved to find work in Copenhagen, attend the University, or join the Royal Fleet.  At its height the empire had an area of 2,655,564.76 km.
