How did the us and Britain settle their claims on Oregon?

Answer 1

In 1846 under President James K. Polk the U.S. signed a treaty with Britain that gave the U.S. possession of the Oregon territory.

Answer 2

Spain dropped out when Mexico defeated Spain. The US and Great Britain agreed to share Oregon. The US citizens wanted to farm and the British wanted to hunt for furs. Finally the market for furs had gone down and their were more Americans in Oregon. President Polk believed in manifest destiny so he wanted Britain to give Oregon to us. Some even demanded more: 54' 40" or fight! they said. But no one really wanted to go to war over it. So basically it was a "Polker Bluff" and Great Britain agreed to give the US almost everything the US asked for.
