In part "Best of Both Worlds" started this, but it was really with "Ensign Ro" that we see large scale conflicts regularly - in that episode the Cardassians oppress the Bajorans. Then we have "Chain of Command." Then the battles with the renegade Borg. | |

Seasons 4+ still contain lots of examples of episodes where a non-aggressive solution is chosen (such as I, Borg) and episodes where communication and diplomacy is more important than war (such as Darmok). | |

Are you specifically asking for an out-of-universe answer like why did the production execs push the overall storyline into more inter-species conflict? Can you edit your question to specify what you expect as a response? | |
