The Louisiana Purchase
Great Britain and the United States both wanted the northwest area that is now Oregon and Washington state. President Polk told Great Britain "54'40" or Fight." There was no fight, there was a compromise.
Interventionists claimed that the United States could avoid war if it sent aid to Britain.
The United States, Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon country, but eventually, Spain and Russia backed out of their claims and the British and Americans lived in that region, jointly administering it beginning in 1816. The region was divided between the Oregon Territory and British Canada in 1846.
