The state of Washington has a history of ownership negotiations that began in 1790 when the Spanish lost control of the territory. The British Empire and America sought ownership for several decades, but finally, Washington became a state in the union in 1853. Through settlement from the east, this state became a place for mining, fishing, agriculture and lumber, which eventually led to it becoming a trade port for gold, silver, copper and lead ores. During both World Wars, the area was infused with industry, and much of the military manufacturing was done by Boeing. Washington continues to be a successful hub for the military, agriculture and lumber. The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 is still a notable mark on the history of the area.
