Events

• The Earth nation of Ireland is unified after over a century of violence. The reunification is considered to be largely the result of the use of terrorism as a political instrument. (TNG: "The High Ground")
• France sees widespread civil unrest amid student protests. Around this time the Neo-Trotskyists unseat the Gaullists from power. Political upheaval is common throughout Europe, with a member of the United States' elite disdainfully remarking that "Europe is falling apart." One couple cancels their Alps trip due to the unrest. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
• Buck Bokai plays his second season of baseball with Seibu. During this year, he is considered the first Solar system-wide batting champion. (DS9: "The Storyteller")

This information comes from a baseball card seen throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on Ben Sisko's desk.

  • Christopher Brynner of Brynner Information Systems worked to prevent the unionization of his company's workers, claiming that conditions in his factories were better than those in unionized workplaces.
