OT- Why did Denmark sell the islands?

[linne]

When we visited USVI last year, it happened that people were asking us, why Denmark sold the islands. Now I have had the same question here in the forum. It's so that I think, it's such an interesting story, and I have read a lot about it, books, articles etc.. So I couldn't resist to try to tell parts of the story in my best English . If you like to read it, you can find it in the off topic forum- STJ history- started by Sherban.
