[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] I get the parallel, though it seems a little tenuous. There's little evidence that the Cardassian Peace Treaty of 2367 was imposed by the victors and seen by the Cardassians as punishing and humiliating in the same way the the Treaty of Versailles was. I mean, the implication was given fairly frequently that the Cardassians fared worse than the Federation in the conflict, and the Cardassian Union lost some star systems, yes, but then again, the Feds evidently gave up some, too. That seems to imply that the final deal (which must have been negotiated after years of some kind of cease-fire considering the wars were likely wrapped up before TNG began) was a fairly-negotiated deal rather than imposed winner's justice. If anything, Cardassia was a bit more like Mussolini's Italy. There was the delusion in the eyes of the Cardassian citizenry that they were a quadrant power the equal of the Federation or the Klingons or Romulans when the cold hard truth was that they weren't. Dukat cozied up with the Dominion as a possible means to achieve the end of great power status that Cardassia's public believed was rightfully deserved. It, of course, proved to be something less than a equal partnership. [/QB][/QUOTE]
