United States and Great Britain jointly controlled the Oregon territory.
The U.S. gained control of part of the Oregon Territory through a combination of exploration, settlement, and diplomatic negotiations. The Oregon Trail facilitated American migration, and the 1846 Oregon Treaty with Britain established the U.S.-Canada border at the 49th parallel, granting the U.S. control over the southern portion of the territory. This treaty resolved the long-standing dispute between the two nations over Oregon, which had been jointly occupied since the early 19th century.
In 1818, Great Britain ceded territory that included parts of the present-day United States and Canada. This agreement primarily involved a portion of the Oregon Country, which had been jointly occupied by both nations. The treaty established the boundary between the U.S. and British territories at the 49th parallel, extending from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains. This arrangement laid the groundwork for future negotiations over the Oregon Territory.

jointly occupied with Britain Oregon treaty- 49th parallel
One of the states formed from the Oregon Country is Oregon itself. Oregon was established as a state in 1859 as part of the Compromise of 1850, splitting from the larger Oregon Territory. The territory was initially jointly occupied by the United States and Britain until a boundary was established at the 49th parallel in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, paving the way for Oregon's statehood.
United States and Great Britain jointly controlled the Oregon territory.
The Oregon Territory was held jointly by the US and Britain until 1846, when the boundary was settled at the 49th parallel.
The northern boundary of Oregon territory was parallel 54° north. At the time, a treaty called for the joint occupation of this territory by both American and British settlers. More and more Americans began to settle there, however, during the 1840s in a bout of "Oregon fever." James K. Polke, the largely unknown presidential candidate and democrat, recognized the potential of reigning in this movement for his purposes. He thus advocated expansion that would encompass California, Texas, and all of Oregon territory, running on a slogan of "fifty-four forty or fight!"
The rush-bagot agreement fixed the border between the United States & Canada at the 49th parallel & it resolved conflict to the claims of Oregon between Britain and the U.S. (they occupied it jointly for 10 years)
The Soverign American Embassy Territory of the US in Tehran, Iran was siezed, and occupied by Iran and Iranian militants on 4 Novemer 1969.
Yes, a major historical claim to Oregon by the United States was based on the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the northern boundary of the Oregon Territory at the 49th parallel. Prior to this, the U.S. asserted its claim through the concept of Manifest Destiny and exploration by figures like Lewis and Clark. The area had also been jointly occupied by the U.S. and Britain under the 1818 Treaty of Joint Occupation. Ultimately, the treaty resolved competing claims and solidified U.S. sovereignty over the region.
