Page "Dilgar War" Paragraph 11

The immediate effect of the Dilgar War was to make the Earth Alliance a major galactic power ; the League of Non-Aligned Worlds would forever look to the Earth Alliance as its protector and benefactor, even during current Babylon 5 timeframe.

However, the war also created an arrogant belief among Earth's military and civilian leaders that they could defeat any alien threat.

Earth's victory over the technologically superior Dilgar gave the Earth Alliance an inflated view of its military capabilities.

As a result the Earth Alliance ignored the warnings of the Centauri Republic to avoid contact with the reclusive but extremely advanced Minbari race.

In 2245 an EarthForce task fleet would encounter a small group of Minbari warships ; this disastrous contact would lead to the bloody Earth-Minbari War, in which the Earth Alliance would take heavy losses by the Minbari forces, this was considered to be the ultimate revenge of Jha ' dur, who by this time was helping the Minbari, on Minbar.

At the time of the Earth-Minbari war the Minbari where superior to Earth-Alliance, but this later changed when Earth massively upgraded it's military power after the war.
