Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It was Great Britain, France, Russia, Spain and the U.S. later took over Spain's claim as part of the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819. Great Britain, France, Russia and Spain PS I googled "Oregon" and went to Wiki, which then led me to "Oregon Country," the name of the area before it became part of the US as a territory. Russia, Spain, England and US. Not sure about England. Great Britain France (could be completely incorrect here) Colville Indian Nation (well, it was a stretch, but had to throw that in anyway) United States Spain Russia (prior to the sale of Alaska to the United States, thanks to William Seward) Mexicans and French voiced a weak claim over Oregon, but now... no nations dare to claim a land in the midle of US. It's unrealistic and impossible demand that US would ever consider unless it's a life or death situation... and US has enough military to protect herself from foreign threats. The US (obviously) Britain, Russia and Spain. |
