William Walker, fearful of attacks by Mexico,…

February 1854 CE

William Walker, fearful of attacks by Mexico, has moved his headquarters twice over the past three months, first to Cabo San Lucas, and then further north to Ensenada to maintain a more secure position of operations, because he lost to General Manuel Márquez de León.

Although he never gains control of Sonora, less than three months later, he pronounces Baja California part of the larger Republic of Sonora.

Lack of supplies and strong resistance by the Mexican government quickly force Walker to retreat on February 13, 1854.
