Proposals for the United States to purchase Greenland

Since 1867, the United States has considered, or made, several proposals to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, as it did with the Danish West Indies in 1917. While Greenland remains an autonomous territory within the Kingdom Of Denmark, a 1951 treaty gives the United States much control over an island it once partially claimed from exploration.
