I believe France and Spain also had claims on the Oregon Territory. Also how were other claims reconciled with annexation?

As the article says, see Oregon Country for the history of the unorganized territory. older≠wiser 00:57, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Most of the state of washington was originally part of British Columbia until annexed by the US.

[edit] question

posting a question here an anon wrote on the talk page of Image:USA Territorial Growth 1810.jpg --Astrokey44 04:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC): "If the date of this map is correct [1810], why is Oregon territory included? When did the US claim the area? I thought this occured in 1825 with a Treaty with Russia."
