In 1917, the United States acquired the Danish West Indies, which were renamed the U.S. Virgin Islands. The acquisition was part of a purchase agreement with Denmark, finalized for $25 million. This move was strategic, as the U.S. sought to bolster its presence in the Caribbean during World War I. The islands officially became a U.S. territory on March 31, 1917.
