The United States and Great Brittain

The goal was to divide Oregon Territory and create a new territory north of the Columbia River.
Secretary of State James Buchanan negotiated the treaty that set the boundary of the Oregon territory.
In the mid-1800s, both the United States and the United Kingdom sought to take control of where is now the Oregon area. Eventually, a compromise was made between the two nations, leading to the Oregon Treaty, which laid out the boundary between the United States and present-day Canada.
American settlers began to settle in the area threatening British hold on the territory.
In 1846, the Oregon Treaty was signed between the United States and Great Britain, resolving the Oregon boundary dispute by establishing the 49th parallel as the border between British North America and the U.S. west of the Rocky Mountains. After the treaty, the Oregon Territory was officially organized, leading to an influx of American settlers in the region. This expansion contributed to the westward movement and settlement patterns that characterized the United States in the following decades. The peaceful resolution of the Oregon boundary dispute also set a precedent for future territorial negotiations between the two nations.
The United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon territory, in other words, the Oregon Country.

Prior to becoming U.S. territory, the Oregon Territory was claimed by several nations, primarily by Great Britain and the United States. The region was jointly occupied under the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which effectively settled the dispute between the two countries. Before that, it was inhabited by various Indigenous peoples and explored by European nations, including Spain and Russia. Ultimately, the United States took full control of the territory after the treaty.
