Through the 1846 Oregon Treaty, the United States gained control of the Oregon Territory, which included present-day Oregon, Washington, and parts of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The treaty resolved the boundary dispute between the U.S. and Great Britain along the 49th parallel, establishing the border between the U.S. and British North America (now Canada) in the Pacific Northwest. This agreement was significant in expanding U.S. territory and fulfilling the concept of Manifest Destiny.

The Oregon Territory was held jointly by the US and Britain until 1846, when the boundary was settled at the 49th parallel.
The phrase "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!" was used during the boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain over the Oregon Territory in the mid-19th century. The slogan referred to the latitude line of 54 degrees 40 minutes, which some Americans wanted as the northern boundary of the U.S. in the Oregon Territory. The dispute was ultimately settled peacefully in 1846 with the Oregon Treaty, establishing the boundary at the 49th parallel.
Prior to becoming U.S. territory, the Oregon Territory was claimed by several nations, primarily by Great Britain and the United States. The region was jointly occupied under the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which effectively settled the dispute between the two countries. Before that, it was inhabited by various Indigenous peoples and explored by European nations, including Spain and Russia. Ultimately, the United States took full control of the territory after the treaty.

The Oregon Territory was claimed by both the United States and Britain, but Polk settled the dispute by agreeing to the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the northern border at the 49th parallel. Additionally, the U.S. expanded its territory through the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), which resulted in significant land acquisitions in the West, including parts of present-day Idaho.
