The claim to Oregon was primarily associated with the United States and Great Britain during the 19th century, particularly due to the Oregon Treaty of 1846. However, the assertion that Balboa's discovery of the Pacific Ocean in 1513 directly influenced the claim to Oregon is not accurate; it was more about exploration and territorial ambitions. Spain, which Balboa represented, initially laid claim to parts of the West Coast, but by the time of the Oregon boundary dispute, the focus had shifted to the U.S. and British claims based on exploration and settlement.
