@magicalthinking @cjd @Merc @alf Denmark colonised Greenland in the 18th century when missionary Hans Egede arrived in 1721,
In 1916, the United States bought the Danish West Indies - now the U.S. Virgin Islands - for $25 million in gold.
As part of that treaty, Woodrow Wilson said the US would not object to the Danish government extending its "political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland", formally recognising Danish sovereignty.
Greenland was inhabited by Inuit peoples from Asia and North America intermittently from around 2,500 BC. Around 985 AD, Vikings led by Erik the Red settled in southern Greenland, farming and building churches. Around the same time, ancestors of today's Inuit arrived, living as hunters and gatherers. They became the dominant culture, pushing out Viking settlers around 1400. Inuit still live in Greenland.
