When Data fired torpedoes to reveal cloaked Romulan ships, that could be considered an act of war. But the Romulans chose not to declare war -- was this because they wanted to break the Federation / Klingon alliance through stealth and didn't want open war?

The alliance between the Federation and the Klingons was still in effect; if the Romulans had declared war on the Federation, the Klingons might have ended their civil war to fight the Romulans with the Federation(most Klingons were not aware of the Romulan support of the Duras). 31dot (talk) 11:38, September 19, 2013 (UTC)
Further, it would have been politically difficult for the Romulans to declare war on the Federation over the revelation of their own attempt to interfere with the Klingon Civil War. 31dot (talk) 11:40, September 19, 2013 (UTC)
