The video explores the historical significance of the Perry Line Pact, a treaty that transitioned humanity and the Xi’An Empire from conflict to diplomacy, initiated by Senator Terren Sakari’s bold meeting with Emperor Cre in 2789. After years of negotiation, including the pivotal “Cohen Compromise,” the treaty was ratified on July 5, 2793, officially ending the Cold War and establishing lasting diplomatic relations between the two cultures.
The video discusses the historical context and significance of the Perry Line Pact, a pivotal treaty between humanity and the Xi’An Empire that marked a shift from conflict to diplomacy. The Perry Line, established as an interstellar barrier, symbolized a deep-seated distrust between the two cultures, with humanity’s perception of the Xi’An shaped by centuries of conflict and propaganda. However, in 2789, Senator Terren Sakari took a bold step to breach this barrier by meeting with Emperor Cre of the Xi’An, leading to discussions that would ultimately result in a peace treaty.
Senator Sakari’s initiative came at a time when the Xi’An Empire was experiencing internal challenges, and he was able to rally support from the UEE populace, who were tired of the constant threat of war. Despite the treaty being approved by the Senate, it lacked the Imperator’s signature, as Messa XI refused to endorse it, highlighting the ongoing political tensions within the UEE. The Xi’An demonstrated their commitment to peace by withdrawing military forces from the Perry Line systems, but the lack of official recognition from the UEE kept relations strained.
It wasn’t until 2792, after the fall of the Messa regime, that the UEE could focus on rebuilding relations with the Xi’An. Imperator Erin Toy prioritized diplomatic efforts, and Ramon Cohen was appointed as the new ambassador to the Xi’An Empire. Although Cohen lacked formal diplomatic experience, his deep understanding of Xi’An culture and language made him a suitable candidate for the complex negotiations ahead.
The initial meetings between Cohen and the Xi’An delegation were tense, as the Xi’An only presented the issue of the former Perry Line systems without offering solutions. Cohen spent months researching and developing a comprehensive 92-page proposal that included joint military operations to clear mines, a division of the Perry Line systems, and the establishment of transitional systems to foster cooperation. However, negotiations stalled over the contentious issue of Oya 3, a resource-rich planet that both sides wanted.
Cohen’s innovative “Cohen Compromise” ultimately resolved the deadlock by allowing the UEE to control the Oya System while granting the Xi’An sovereignty over the existing settlement on Oya 3. This compromise was accepted after intense negotiations, leading to the ratification of the Perry Line Pact on July 5, 2793. The treaty officially ended the Cold War between the UEE and the Xi’An Empire, ushering in a new era of diplomatic relations that have endured to this day.
