What territory, claimed by four nations, was eventually decided with the line for its control being drawn at 49 degrees?

Correct Answer:
oregon.


the correct answer is oregon. the oregon territory was a region of considerable dispute among several nations during the 18th and 19th centuries. initially, four major powers were involved in the territorial claims: the united states, russia, spain, and britain.

over time, through various treaties and agreements, the number of claimants decreased. russia withdrew its claim to the area south of 54 degrees 40 minutes latitude with the treaty of saint petersburg in 1825. spain relinquished its claims north of the 42nd parallel to the united states with the adams-onís treaty of 1819.

this left britain and the united states as the primary contenders. the dispute between these two nations was eventually resolved by the oregon treaty of 1846, which established the 49th parallel as the boundary line. this line of demarcation awarded land south of the 49th parallel to the united states and land north of the line to british canada, effectively shaping the borders of the modern-day pacific northwest.
