The exact specifics that lead to the ending of the war are classified under the TPD. What is known is that the elder races eventually withdrew completely from the galaxy save for small enclaves. The entity known as the Dark ceased to be a threat and the black ocean receded completely.
The crews of the five ships responsible for the end of the fighting were granted leave and over the course of two years the LMC began to show signs of a unity and galactic wide government centered at the Citadel.

In an insidious twist the Thought Plague is capable of being carried by nontelepaths completely asymptomatically. This lead to a rapid spread across the LMC and a danger to any telepaths connecting with such minds. Though for a while it seemed to only manifest within telepathic species native to the LMC. The Avynei and Travynei were able to counter the effects in their own kind but being infected meant long recoveries.

The idea that Bajor has constantly just been a pawn at play to be used by the Federation starts to take root.
