In the Oregon Treaty of 1846, the United States and Great Britain agreed to settle the boundary dispute over the Oregon Territory. The treaty established the 49th parallel as the border between U.S. and British territories, extending west to the Pacific Ocean. This agreement allowed the U.S. to gain control of the land south of the 49th parallel, while Britain retained control of present-day Vancouver Island. The treaty was significant in preventing further conflict over the region and solidifying U.S. territorial expansion.
