Yes, the United States gained the Utah Territory peacefully. Following the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded a vast amount of territory from Mexico to the U.S., including present-day Utah. This acquisition was largely peaceful, as it was part of a negotiated settlement rather than a conflict over the territory itself. Subsequently, the Utah Territory was formally organized in 1850.
