So I've long had a TL idea in my head of Mormons settling permanently in Baja California in Mexico instead of the slice of Mexico that soon became the Utah Territory.
I'm not so concerned with how they get there as what would be the butterflies and effects on Mexican history once they do. If the Mormons settle in OTL Tijuana, or even further away from the border in Baja, and quickly build up their population as they did in Utah, are there any major conflicts they could get involved in? Assuming unlike the Texans they have no interest in being annexed by the United States (and there's evidence that even in OTL Utah they were dismayed in becoming Americans again), what events could they influence?
