Which two nations fought with the United States over the Oregon and Texas territories?
The U.S. fought with Britain and Mexico over the Oregon and Texas territories. The U.S. gained Texas in a war with Mexico but did not gain Oregon through a war. Advocates of Manifest Destiny called for war with Great Britain under the slogan of "fifty-four forty or fight", a reference to the latitude they wanted the US to claim from England. Instead of going to war, the US negotiated with England and the border was established at the 49th parallel.
What agreement did the us and great Britain reach about the Oregon territory?
For many years in the early to mid-1800s, America and Britain agreed upon "joint occupancy" of the Oregon Territory. America claimed land all the way up to the 54040' while Britain claimed land as far south as the 420 . President Polk was elected and he encouraged Manifest Destiny, stating that America's destiny included as much land gain as possible. Part of that was the entire Oregon territory. There were threats of war over the land. (Common slogan: Fifty-four Forty or fight!) Moderation won out over calls for war and the 49th parallel was agreed to as the place of the divide, America getting all land south and the UK, all land north in the Oregon Treaty.
How did the negotiations between the US and Britain over the Oregon territory differ from those between the US and Mexico over the southwest?
As far as US and Britain over the Oregon Boundary, President Polk wanted the land and figured that Britain was not willing to fight over it. Britain gave the US almost everything it wanted. No troops were needed but both sides did have some ships. With Mexico, the US sent a full scale invading army and took what it wanted. Later with the Gasden Purchase it took some more but this time it paid for it.
What territory was gained peacefully by the us from great Britain in 1848?

This peaceful resolution established the 49th parallel as the boundary between U.S. and British territories in the Pacific Northwest. The agreement ended a long-standing dispute over the region, allowing the U.S. to expand its territory without conflict.
