The correct answer to this open question is the following.
If the question refers to the Westward Expansion from 1807 to 1912, that made thousands of pioneers to cross the Oregon Trail, then some possible consequences of the rapid settlement of Oregon would be the occupation of lands to be used as farms and get people new opportunities to make a decent living growing crops. The rapid settlement was notorious by 1840. Oregon lands "promised" fertile soil. That is why people from the Mississippi Valley decide to move to Oregon. Mane Eastern farmers decided to better move to Oregon instead than New Mexico or California, thinking that the land in Oregon was more fertile to farmland. People had to cross the above mentioned Oregon Trail, knowing that the trip would not be easy.
Spain and France both were allies of the colonists
Overpopulation puts a tremendous strain on resources. If too many people live in a place with too few resources (food, water, etc.), there are many negative effects. The biggest concern is access to water. A lack of fresh water can lead to unsanitary living conditions, which can cause disease, infection and increased child and infant mortality. Additionally, overpopulation can lead to malnutrition and increased transmission of diseases. Even more disconcerting is the fact that overpopulation is a growing issue; by 2050, the projected population of the world is 9 billion, with the developed world comprising the majority of the population.
