The United States nearly fought with Great Britain over the Oregon Territory in the mid-19th century. The conflict arose from competing claims between the US and Britain, leading to heightened tensions and the slogan "54-40 or Fight!" in reference to the northern latitude line both nations claimed. Ultimately, the dispute was peacefully resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the boundary along the 49th parallel.

Why do countries start war?

The number one reason nations fight is over natural resources and OIL and OIL and OIL. World War 2 was fought in the Pacific over the issue of oil and natural resources. The Gulf War was fought over this reason. There were many more that were fought for this reason. Now I will give you the other reasons.One nation wants another nation to let them be self-ruling and to leave them alone. World War 1 was fought over this reason, and racism. So nations will go against imperialists, fascists, communists and other types of oppressive governments.A megalomaniac wants to rule the world: Adolf Hitler wanted that in World War 2.A nation wants to rule over other nations. The Romans, Moguls, Soviets, and others have been guilty of this.One nation wants what another nation has: Egypt has been attacked many times for their riches in ancient times. It's the same concept as going after oil. The Vikings, Romans and others were guilty of warring over possessions.Nations will battle over ideals, values and other issues such as what happened in the Cold War and World War 1. The US Civil War is an excellent example of this.One nation wants the other nation's land, water and assets. There have been many wars for that reason.One nation harms the possessions or people of another nation. The perfect example of that is the War of 1812 when the Brits were taking American people off their ships and taking the ships too.Nations fight over the border lines and land possession. An excellent example of that was the Mexican American War.Have you noticed I have not said they fought over a woman. Never in a million years will that happen. Men would give up the woman before they will fight over her in a total war.


Why did the Russians and the Japanese fight a war in the early 1900s?

The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) was primarily fought over imperial ambitions in East Asia, particularly concerning Korea and Manchuria. Both Russia and Japan sought to expand their influence and control in these regions, leading to clashes over territorial rights and resources. Japan, emerging as a modern power, aimed to assert itself against traditional European imperialism, while Russia sought to secure its access to warm-water ports and expand its empire. The conflict ultimately showcased Japan's military capabilities and marked the first major victory of an Asian power over a European nation in the modern era.
