I have some antique books about the Caribbean that are over a hundred years old.
Back in those days, Puerto Rico was actually spelled that way, i.e., “Porto Rico.”

The article is premature. The U.S. won’t buy the Danish West Indies until 1917...

Agree with post 55.
The reasons for the acquisition were the US government was a concern the Germans would use the islands as a U-boat base and once they purchased the islands the US Navy could establish bases there for the defense of the Panama Canal.

I don’t get why this is news today, but we didn’t buy the Virgin Islands until 1917.

Hey, you put up a “click bait” headline, you’re going to get a Washington Post reply.

why?
I believe it was seen as a help in protecting our Panama Canal. Remember when it was our canal?
