[QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]The end of the war leads to the founding of the UFP? Possibly, but it's not stated anywhere. The war could well have continued beyond the founding of the Federation. Or even been started *after* the founding[/qb][/QUOTE]Are we considering Picard's Family Album as a canon source?? Here's the entire article from the Founding of the Federation News Article: ------------------ IT'S FEDERATION DAY! 5 sign new UFP Constitution San Francisco, Earth (GNN)� Declaring it a landmark day in the history of each of their worlds, five envoys today breathed life into the fledgling United Federation of Planets with the signing of the new organization's Constitution amid much pomp and circumstance. "We are truly entering a brave new world of peace, exploration, and security with the establishment of this Federation," declared Earth ambassador Thomas Vanderbilt, whose remarks were echoed by representatives from Vulcan, Andor, Tellar and Alpha Centauri. "[b]Following the end of your world's war with the unseen Romulan enemy[/b], such a union as we create here today is the most logical course of action any of our peoples can take," added Ambassador T'Jan of Vulcan. UESPA Maj. Gen. Georges E. Picard, an aide to Vanderbilt, noted afterward the irony of the conference�which met in exactly the same fashion as the founders of Earth's old United Nations, who came together only 216 years earlier in this same city in the aftermath of the horrors of another costly war. "What is occurring here today is one sign that some good can come of such a attitude," Picard noted. "We defy anyone, even the Romulans, to test our resolve now for collective security," declared Ambassador Nartha Kell of Tellar, while Sarahd of Andor spoke of the future greatness for the infant union and predicted rapid expansion. Ambassador Titus Cheet signed for the newly independant Centauri system. [b]Today's events were but the ceremonial endgame for the often-tenuous negotiations, which began in earnest after the defeat of hostile forces at Cheron effectively ended the Romulan War only a little more than a year ago.[/b] Even today, some sources reported a bitter fracas involving the Tellarite Kell and Sarahd. Although those taking part today waved off revealing many specific details. The five, after signing, immediately convened the first-ever meeting of the UFP Council long enough to elect Vanderbilt as president, with Sarahd as vice president. Also, the Council unanimously voted to continue meeting in San Francisco, with an all-new building in the design stages near the historic old Presidio fort and Golden Gate Bridge. Council sources predicted at least three months would be needed before the fledgling UFP bureaucracy would be ready for business. ------------------ So this sounds like the Earth-Romulan war ended 'more than a year' before the founding of the Federation, which would make the treaty 2159 or possibly 2160.
