The U.S. settlement of Oregon negatively impacted U.S. - British relations, because the United Kingdom had made prior claims to the Oregon Country, which they referred to as the Columbia District. George Vancouver had explored the area in 1792 and claimed the area for Britain, whereas the U.S. began exploring the region with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805-1806.
