Which exploration crossed into territory belonging to a Europeans nation?
It was Lewis and Clark's Voyage of Discovery which began in 1804. With the Louisiana Purchase completed in 1803, the French had ceded their territory to the U.S. The British claimed much of what later became the Oregon Territory, although there were also French and American trappers in the area. Spain still claimed much of the area southwest of the Louisiana Territory, but the expedition did not travel that far south. So I suspect it was British territory that Lewis & Clark ventured in to.pike 1806-1807
