In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

Over 200K Danish citizens signed a petition to buy California as a response to the orange felon’s hunt for Greenland. The petition states that they’ll provide Californians with universal health care, fact-based politics, rule of law, lifetime supply of Danish pastries. Love it.
