   This was one of the points of discussion in the graphic novel "Valen's name".   
   Valen's last records in babylon 4 have him telling that he brainstormed this   
   with Kosh and Ulkesh about whether it could be possible to avoid Earth-Minbari   
   war, but they all came to same conclusion: if the war isn't allowed to progress   
   as it did, consequences for the whole timeline could be dangerously   
   unpredictable.   
      
   If Minbari do not survive the penultimate shadow war, then that basically gives   
   the shadows free hands to move as they see fit. Delenn's estimation were that   
   they'd emerge three times as big as fleet as they had now.   
      
   And that's just for starters. Now that nobody is there among the younger races   
   to bang the alarm bells, the shadow infiltration with all the younger races can   
   proceed without a hitch. There's a good chance that entire galaxy would turn   
   into a war-torn hellscape, where extinction events are daily occurrence.
