The answer is Oregon. This is solidified through the treaty called the Treaty of Oregon. In this treaty, the US and the British government had created a boundary to stop states to fight over their territories. The treaty had stated that Oregon county is a joint territory between the US and the British government.

This area was Oregon which was brought about by the Oregon boundary dispute, better known as the Oregon Question. This was an issue regarding the political division of the Pacific Northwest regions located in North America versus several nations that had competitive territorial and commercial aspirations over the area.

The correct answer is colonization. Colonization is when one country dominates (or colonizes) another, with the intent of using the colonized country's resources (such as land and labor) for the benefit of the colonizers. For example, Great Britain initially colonized what would become the US (the 13 colonies) and taxed the colonists for the motherland's gains.

Here we go..
These questions deal with opinion and perspective supplied by facts, so if this is purely academic there is no perfect answer. In my opinion, yes imperial rule has always been bad. There are positive things about empires, that is what makes them interesting. There are pros and cons, but often that not (speaking in both modern and recent times) the pros are supposed to blot out the cons. The Roman Empire is an ancient example, so yeah those pros weren't mean to blot out the cons. Never forget this, most pros of the imperial government are to make 'managing' easier. If the people dont want to be ruled by a foreign power, then youll get what you always have. Riots and whatnot. Ha, flip open any area of a text book and youll find the answer to "What is a lot or half the people dont want the imperialism?" Listen, there is no such thing as a completely good anything. But also, never let that be an excuse for injustice. Whether or not you judge yours or someone elses empire as good depends on you really, how you feel what you want, your morals. And if you want specific examples - I have plenty. But I am tired of typing now so if you want examples just msg me. Hope I helped
