When Krall and Kirk are battling at Starbase Yorktown at the film's ending, Edison (Krall) mentions watching millions of people perish in "the Xindi and Romulan wars". This is a reference to the prequel series Enterprise (2001) with Scott Bakula playing the commander of the first Enterprise ever built in canon, beginning in the year 2151. The ship was designated NX-01. Scotty also mentions the MACOs when talking about Edison's past. The MACOs were the military personnel that accompanied the NX-01 crew during the Xindi war. The Romulan war that Edison mentioned, took place three years after the Xindi War, and was supposed to have been shown on Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). The storyline was even beginning to come to fruition, but the series was cancelled before this could be created. Official series canon dictates that the Romulan wars took place from 2156 to 2160 (one hundred three years prior to this movie, which takes place in 2263). However, prior to, and during these wars, there was never any visual contact between humans and Romulans, or this information was lost. We know this because in Star Trek: Balance of Terror (1966) (taking place in 2266), upon encountering the Romulans, the Enterprise crew was astonished to see the resemblance they have to Vulcans. However, in Star Trek (2009), which takes place in the altered Kelvin Timeline, the crew already learned of the Romulans' true appearance in the year 2258.
