The republic was established by Mormon settlers fleeing persecution in the USA. They declared Independence in 1849 and were immediately recognised by the British Government wanting a buffer between its British holding and the USA. Followed then a conflict known as the Utah War in the USA which ended in a victory for the latter. A second uprising took place during the US Civil War.
