Invasion of the Danish West Indies

The second British Invasion of the Danish West Indies took place in December 1807 when a British fleet captured the Danish islands of Saint Thomas on 22 December and Saint Croix on 25 December. The Danes did not resist and the invasion was bloodless. This British occupation of the Danish West Indies lasted until 20 November 1815, when Britain returned the islands to Denmark.
