I'd have to check, but I think Lorca said something to the effect of the Federation being greatly affected by the war in terms of its post-scarcity economy.
Things you HATED about this show. As much as there are positives about STD there is much CRINGE!

TNG brings up the Federation/Klingon conflict. Heck a war in this era has been a fan fav since the 80's.
Star Trek is pretty vague on things that happen in between series, and in TOS there was open aggression between the Federation and the Klingons which the Klingons seemed to believe they would win.
You are holding Discovery to a higher standard of continuity than you hold the series you like.
I'm willing to say that I might be holding DIscovery to a higher standard of continuity than other series, but I feel that's somewhat justified considering we've had what, five series and ten movies previous to it. But the main point of this reply is that I actually like Discovery quite a bit.
I think I saw video that was supposed to explore it
I don't actually have too much of a need for perfect continuity given the world was destroyed in the 90s.

Yeah they copied it out of an old FASA book
It was a very turbulent time in Earth's history, Captain.
Was that episode Kelvinverse? It had Abramsverse aesthetics on the ipods!
* Note: This is sarcasm. I just realized there might be people who'd speculate this.
I'll have to go back and check, but I thought that was 8000 deaths in the first battle of the war - i.e. The Battle of the Binary Stars.
It was supposed to be the casualities of the first 2 days. It's probably cumulative figure of the casualties at the Battle of the Binary Stars and other klingon assaults on ships or colonies.
I thought it was the number of deaths in the two fleets clashing.
Maybe the writers were intentionally vague so star trek fans would spend the next 10 years arguing about it.

"Why are we changing the Klingons?"
"So we can get the fans arguing about that instead of everything else."
I thought there was quite a bit, to be honest. Lots of amusing lines and moments to lighten things up. "We don't have assigned seats", "oh shit that worked", "did the Klingon just shh you?" Etc.
Multiple fireplaces and campfires. Data's Sherlock Holmes and A Christmas Carol programs. The Henry V program run by both Data and Picard. Chez Sandrine on the Voyager holodeck.
And never mind the fact that the Xindi probe attack on Earth is never referenced in any other chapter of the Trek franchise outside ENT save for Beyond, at least thus far. I'd love to hear Lorca or another Starfleet officer mention the Xindi scare of the 2150s in a future episode but Trek is notoriously bad at referencing historical events that occurred in previous series and films, even if they were supposed to be enormous and moments that forever altered the course of Earth or Federation history.
Doesn't mean we won't hear about them, though.
The Xindi eventually showed up in both the novels and Online.
