Originally encompassing only the islands of St. Thomas and St. John, the Danish purchased St. Croix from the French in 1733, and then the islands of Slango (OTL Culebra), Tortola, Kobbero (OTL Virgin Gorda) and Vando (OTL Anegada) from the British in 1777. Despite purchase offers from the United States in 1917 and Louisiana in 1920, the islands remain direct possessions of the Danish Crown.
