In the 1960s, they had leveraged [[Daxian]] influence to annex the Brudxaan Province, roughly modern [[New Veltorina]], but those efforts constitued the extent of Quetzenkel's interactions outside Crona since the [[Second Great War]]. Traditionalists and those concerned with Quetzenkel's continued neutrality urged a more radical anti-Occidental stance combined with rearmament, although these concerns were leveled among many other historic cultural concerns. These factions eventually assassinated the sitting Archchief, Honau V, sparking the [[South Nysdra War]]. In addition to being a dynastic civil war, the war had the complication of endangering the [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] minority in the region, who had settled there [[Veltorine_people#Life_Abroad_Movement|in the 20th century]]; Urcea's various historic obligations to the Veltorines led public opinion to favor intervention on their behalf, spreading the potential of Occidental armed intervention. | ||
On the northern shore of the Nysdra, the League of Nations Mandate of [[Venua'tino]] had already been under the influence of [[Urcea]] for four decades with little impact. The region had received economic investment on a limited scale as well as significant diplomatic attention through the decades. However, the warring groups and rival factions which dominated coastal Venua'tino life were largely more content to continue to do safe business under loose Urcean oversight than to band together to establish cohesive national states. The War of the Northern Confederation, led to a definitive policy change in Urcea with respect to the Mandate. Its stated policy goals elsewhere in the Nysdra region, as well as increased obligations and the financial cost of those obligations, meant that forging viable states and withdrawing from the Venua'tino area became a priority. | On the northern shore of the Nysdra, the League of Nations Mandate of [[Venua'tino]] had already been under the influence of [[Urcea]] for four decades with little impact.
