Answer 1

Explanation:

The Convention of 1818 was a treaty between the United States and Britain that set the 49th parallel of latitude as the boundary between British North America and the US across the West. This remains the boundary today between the two nations.

Answer 2

The agreement between Britain and the United States in the Treaty of 1818 is joint control of the Oregon Country for ten years.

• The 49th parallel of latitude was established as the border between British North America and the US across the West by the Convention of 1818, a contract between the US and Britain.
• The border between the two countries is still defined by this line.
• The Convention contained six provisions that covered a range of business concerns, boundary difficulties, and the 49th parallel:

1. Article I - obtained for the US the right to fish off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.
2. Article II -  Those areas of the Red River Colony and Rupert's Land south of the 49th parallel were given to the US.
3. Article III -  For ten years, shared control over the Oregon Country was established.
4. Article IV - Ten more years were added to the two countries' current business regulations.
5. Article V - The Treaty of Ghent (which ended the War of 1812) would submit any disputes relating to American territorial claims to a friendly state mediator.
6. Article VI - Ensured that the Convention would be ratified within six months of its signing.

Hence, among the given options joint control of the Oregon Country for ten years is one of the agreements made between Britain and the United States in the Treaty of 1818.
