What foreign power was laying claim to much of the Pacific coast of North America and thereby threatening the claims of Britain and the US?
Spain and then Mexico. The British claims were not threatened by Spain nor Mexico because they were not beyond the east coast. It wasn't until the 1800's and the western movement that there was any concern by the US government. President Polk was really concerned about California and how to take it away from Mexico. He sent in several patrols to check the Mexican resolve for keeping the area. The gold rush settled that with the rush of thousands of people into the state. It was just too much for Mexico after the Mexican governor was taken to Sacramento and held at Sutter's Fort. The Bear Flag Republic was declared by John C Fremont and in Sept. 1850 it became a state.
