Jonathan Archer restored a damaged timeline.

Adolf Hitler, the primary aggressor in the Eastern War was quoted as saying, in 1938, "We need breathing room".

Following the Hirogen capture of the USS Voyager, one of the ship's holodecks was programmed with a simulation of this timeframe.

At the conclusion of the war, American General Douglas MacArthur spoke the following words:
 * "Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we've won in war."

Those words would be repeated four hundred and thirty years later by Admiral William Ross at the end of the Dominion War.
