U.S. bought “Virgin Islands” from Denmark in 1917.
This document is the official receipt signed on March 31, 1917, acknowledging that the United States paid Denmark the full purchase price of $25,000,000 in gold for the Danish West Indies (now known as the United States Virgin Islands — St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix).
It was issued by the U.S. Treasury and signed by C. C. Brown (likely a Treasury official), confirming receipt of a Treasury warrant (dated March 31, 1917, numbered 13,225) as “full payment” under Article 2 of the 1916 treaty between the two countries.
Here are some key highlights from the text and historical context:
• The islands were formally ceded by Denmark to the United States.
• The convention (treaty) was signed in New York on August 4, 1916.
• Ratifications were exchanged in Washington on January 17, 1917 (exactly 109 years before today!).
• The U.S. Congress authorized the payment via an act approved on March 3, 1917.
• Actual transfer of sovereignty (“Transfer Day”) occurred on March 31, 1917, when the Danish flag came down and the American flag went up — just days before the U.S. entered World War I.
The United States wanted the islands primarily for strategic reasons: to secure a naval base in the Caribbean, protect the newly opened Panama Canal, and prevent Germany from potentially seizing them during the war.
