He takes 5 random human Jedis from the Clone Wars, right before they are killed in battle, and drops them in right when the TNG crew beams out, and Cochrane is about to meet the Vulcans.
By doing this move, Q has infected the Universe with the Force, and other worlds gain a few force infused people. Along with a few governments like:
The Klingon Empire
The Romulan Star Empire
The Ferengi Alliance
The Cardassian Union
note: Things will still go forward like before, but now you have the Jedis in the mix of things. How do you see Trek History moving forward with this one change in the timeline?

Well, if the USS Enterprise E is still in orbit, the sensors officer will detect the entities from another universe. Due to the fact that they just got done fighting borg, it is highly likely they would be looking for any more of these anomalies. Therefore, the crew would abort the time warp to investigate. Upon learning of Q's actions, Picard will be very displeased (to say the least...) With no other choice, the timeline has now been altered, Picard would beam the Jedi into the brig and go back to the present, preventing any further timeline contamination.
The Star Trek universe does not contain any midichlorians. Assuming the USS Enterprise's transporters don't screen them out as a pathogen, they will spread. It is also possible for them to have spread in the past with that brief contact on Earth. The Force is unusable until the midichlorians spread far enough. Upon learning of the spreading midichlorians each race will react differently.
The Klingon Empire will fear it and treat it like a plague. Think about it, the force allows for deception (through mind tricks), telekinetic powers, and increased agility. The first trait alone will enrage the Klingons. They will attempt to "cure" it by working on a device that destroys it or nullifies it.
The Romulan Star Empire will study the force and attempt to adapt it for their own purposes. The Tal Shiar will experiment and test it in their espionage tactics. If it is found to be viable, it is likely they will adapt it for all of their missions.
The Ferengi Alliance...yeah...we all know what they would do with it. A biological entity that allows them to read their customers minds? I see every Ferengi in the galaxy lining up to obtain the force.
The Cardassians will use the force to obtain information from captives. It is likely they will mainly use it for torture and confusing the minds of their prisoners.
The Federation will view the force as a sentient lifeform and attempt to get the Jedi back to their universe. Assuming Q is willing to help (he probably won't simply because he is enjoying himself), then Q will simply revert everything he did. Now if Q isn't willing to help...Starfleet will call Sisco to "persuade" him. A few punches to the face later, Q decides the whole thing isn't fun anymore, so he reverts everything.
