The Oregon Territory was acquired by the United States primarily through the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which resolved a boundary dispute with Britain. While the exact monetary value of the territory isn't straightforward, the U.S. effectively gained control over a vast area (present-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming) without a direct purchase price. The U.S. had previously negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million, which is sometimes compared to the value of territorial acquisitions like Oregon. However, the Oregon Territory was largely obtained through diplomatic agreement rather than outright purchase.
