[[Aster's expedition]] greatly altered the course of history in central [[Crona]], inaugurating the [[Zurgite_Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|Žuqulid Revolution]] and [[The Hunt (Varshan)|the Hunts]] which gradually diminished the previously powerful [[North Songun civilization]]. As [[Zurgite Varshan]] grew increasingly hostile and militant, efforts to create a large naval force became paramount in what was previously a predominantly land-based power. Paranoia about Occidentals arriving unannounced on Crona's shores, as had happened with [[Paul Aster]], led to a transformation of the previously backwater Senecas into a massive hub of shipbuilding between about [[1450]] and [[1650]]. | [[Aster's expedition]] greatly altered the course of history in central [[Crona]], inaugurating the [[Zurgite_Varshan#Žuqulid_Revolution|Žuqulid Revolution]] and [[The Hunt (Varshan)|the Hunts]] which gradually diminished the previously powerful [[North Songun civilization]].

The end of the [[Zurgite_Varshan#Chazxin_dynasty|Chazxin dynasty]] in [[1702]] led to the gradual end of Varshan as a naval power in the circles of power in Anzo. | |||
[[Varshan]] around the period of the [[First Great War]] sought to modernize and gain access to Occidental technology, weapons, and techniques of warfare, but had relatively little to offer as a closed state. At the turn of the 20th century, it was decided to open the Seneca Islands generally - and Zakan Rot specifically - as the sole port through which Occidental traders could import and export goods in and out of Varshan. The opening had the effect of turning Zakan Rot into a world trade city nearly overnight; the small, sleepy port city of 10,000 in [[1895]] became a booming economic center of 250,000 by [[1930]] at the dawn of the [[Second Great War]]. | [[Varshan]] around the period of the [[First Great War]] sought to modernize and gain access to Occidental technology, weapons, and techniques of warfare, but had relatively little to offer as a closed state.
