The world's largest island has long presented an attractive prospect for American power projection.
The first serious attempt to acquire Greenland was the brainchild of Robert J. Walker , the former treasury secretary under President James K. Polk .
In 1867 , he came to Secretary of State William Seward with an ambitious proposal to purchase Greenland and Iceland from Denmark , which then controlled both.
U.S. offered Copenhagen $100 million in gold for the island.
Danish ambassador to the US signed a deal to protect Greenland from Nazi invasion in 1940 .
The deal included the rights to set up airfields, military bases, and mine resources on the island in the aftermath of World War II .
