Counterpoint: they should have just kept real world dates without worrying that they “didn’t happen.” We all know Star Trek is made up. Stop trying to reconcile it with real history.
Not my preference. Star Trek was made to be about our future, not the future of an alternate past.
SNW seems to have formalized the concept of a sliding timeline, attributed to temporal cold war shenanigans. I hate that justification, but the sliding timeline approach is probably the best one for how the franchise has developed. The Eugenics Wars are will happen 20 to 30 years from now… whenever now is.
