History sometimes links unrelated events in unsettling ways, and this is one of those moments where geopolitics and later scandal unexpectedly intersect.
In 1917, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the United States for $25 million in gold, a strategic move during World War I that transferred dozens of Caribbean islands into U.S. control.
Among those islands was Little St. James, a small private island that remained largely unknown for decades before entering the spotlight many years later.
In 1998, the island was purchased by Jeffrey Epstein, and over time it became infamous due to criminal investigations and global media attention tied to his activities.
What began as a routine territorial deal between nations ultimately left behind a legacy no one could have predicted at the time, reminding us how long-term consequences can echo far beyond original intentions.
