There is paperwork.
It's from 1916 when the US bought/traded $25M & official acknowledgment of Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland to Denmark for the Dutch West Indies because (stop me if you heard this one) the US was afraid another country would take it over.

In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA for $25M, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. The USA was worried Germany could take control of the islands, though they had no plans to do so.
In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over #Greenland
