Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Danish West Indies from 1865 to 1917, specifically the circumstances surrounding the United States' purchase of the islands in 1917. It covers the history, geography, and people of the islands during this period, as well as the political and economic factors that led to their acquisition by the US. It places the acquisition of the islands within the broader context of American foreign policy and expansionism in the Caribbean. The author argues that the purchase of the islands was a strategic move by the US to enhance its military presence in the Caribbean and to secure a coaling station for its fleet. The book offers fresh insights into the political and economic motivations behind the purchase and sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in American history. It will be of interest to scholars of American history, foreign policy, and Caribbean studies.
