in 1846, Britain agreed for the US to take control of this territory.
Great Britain
Polk did not really want to fight Britain. Instead, in 1846, he agreed to a compromise. Oregon was divided at latitude 49°N. Britain got the lands north of the line, and the United States got the lands south of the line.
The Oregon Territory was split between the United States and Britain.
Oregon
One of the states formed from the Oregon Country is Oregon itself. Oregon was established as a state in 1859 as part of the Compromise of 1850, splitting from the larger Oregon Territory. The territory was initially jointly occupied by the United States and Britain until a boundary was established at the 49th parallel in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, paving the way for Oregon's statehood.
Britain
The United States, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia claimed the Oregon territory, in other words, the Oregon Country.
In 1846 under President James K. Polk the U.S. signed a treaty with Britain that gave the U.S. possession of the Oregon territory.
