In 1805 and 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traveled through the Oregon Country, a disputed territory at the time claimed by both the United States and Great Britain. This area encompassed the Pacific Northwest, including parts of present-day Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Their expedition was part of the larger effort to explore and map the newly acquired lands from the Louisiana Purchase. The Oregon Country ultimately became a focal point of territorial disputes between the two nations until it was settled in the 1846 Oregon Treaty.

Which exploration crossed into territory belonging to a Europeans nation?
It was Lewis and Clark's Voyage of Discovery which began in 1804. With the Louisiana Purchase completed in 1803, the French had ceded their territory to the U.S. The British claimed much of what later became the Oregon Territory, although there were also French and American trappers in the area. Spain still claimed much of the area southwest of the Louisiana Territory, but the expedition did not travel that far south. So I suspect it was British territory that Lewis & Clark ventured in to.pike 1806-1807
