The Oregon Territory was split between the United States and Britain.
Great Britain and the United States both wanted the northwest area that is now Oregon and Washington state. President Polk told Great Britain "54'40" or Fight." There was no fight, there was a compromise.
It was the Oregon Territory, which included the present states of Oregon and Washington. In 1846 the dividing line between the US and Canada (British Columbia) was established by the Oregon Treaty, and in 1867 the US purchased Alaska from Russia.
The United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon territory, in other words, the Oregon Country.

The Adams-Onís Treaty, signed in 1819, primarily involved the United States and Spain. As a result of this treaty, Spain ceded its claims to the Oregon Territory, which allowed the U.S. to assert its claim over the region. Therefore, the countries that claimed the Oregon Territory following the treaty were primarily the United States and, prior to the treaty, Spain.

U.S. and Britain
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.

Before the United States, the Oregon Territory was claimed by several countries, including Spain, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States itself. Spain initially held the territory through the early 19th century but ceded its claims to the United States in the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819. Great Britain and the United States both had competing claims, leading to the Oregon boundary dispute until the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the current U.S.-Canada border in that region. Thus, prior to U.S. ownership, it was primarily under British control.
