Chase was glad. It was going to make things a lot easier to remember
things if he could keep notes as they went along. "Perhaps we should
start in the beginning. How did the Klingons get drawn into the war?"
"As I am sure you have already found, the Klingon Empire was already
deeply involved in a war with the Cardassians. The Cardassians were
basically crippled, and, to a large extent, that is why they were so
willing to open their borders to the Dominion. The war had severly
harmed our alliance. In a way, we both owe the Dominion War for
reuniting the Klingons and the Federation. Without it, there is some
question as to whether we would have rebuilt the peace that existed
between our two peoples."
"What caused the war with Cardassia and why did the Federation get
drawn into the fighting?"
"There were concerns that upper members of their government had been
replaced by Changelings. We had sent in a force to make sure that was
not the case. Starfleet tried to intercede, which led to some tense
moments between our two people before mutual concern that the Dominion
was making too much headway in the Quadrant."
"Why do you think the Federation interceded on behalf of the
Cardassians. They were not exactly our allies at the time. I would
have thought they would have sided with you."
(tag?)
"It is ironic, but it could be argued that the actions of the Klingon
Empire led the Cardassians to seek aid from the Dominion allowing them
a hold on our side of the wormhole."
"Do you think that means the Klingon Empire is ultimately responsible
for the war that ensued?"
(tag?)
