The Oregon Country was explored and claimed by various nations in the early 19th century, while Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836 and became a Republic. The land ceded by Mexico to the United States came after the Mexican-American War, formalized in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Therefore, the Oregon Country was claimed first, followed by Texas, and then the land ceded by Mexico.
