Thirdly, the anti-USA powers underestimated the strength of the bonds that they were trying to break (and were completely confused as to why pro-war posters in the Concorduim often read 'Gondor Calls For Aid!'), or perhaps overestimated their own political skills. Finally, they were not expecting the Xindi Alliance to just watch as they did, but to opportunistically attack (they would have, if the war had lasted longer, or had looked like it might be successful). The Kaa were the first to bow out, establishing a separate peace in 2183. The Orions reluctantly withdrew from the war in early 2185, with the Kzin holding on until the end of 2187.
