The United States, Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon country, but eventually, Spain and Russia backed out of their claims and the British and Americans lived in that region, jointly administering it beginning in 1816. The region was divided between the Oregon Territory and British Canada in 1846.

∙ 10y agoSpain, Russia, Britain, and the US all claimed regions of the Oregon Country. Spain dropped out of America with the Florida Treaty of 1819 and Russia dropped out with the treaties of 1824 and 1825. Britain controlled the portion north of the Columbia River. By 1846, about 5,000 Americans settled south of the Columbia River. The British had a lesser population but it did not want to give up its claims to the Columbia River. The disputed territory in Oregon Country became an issue in the election of 1844, but was divided by treaty in1846.
