One notable example of a colony given as a gift is the U.S. Virgin Islands, which were purchased by the United States from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million. However, a more historical example is the island of Manhattan, which was famously acquired by Dutch settlers in 1626 in exchange for goods valued at 60 guilders, often romanticized as a gift to the indigenous Lenape people. While technically not a gift in the traditional sense, these transactions illustrate the complex dynamics of colonialism and territorial exchange.
