Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament. To this end, Quetzenkel agreed to allow [[Veltorine people]] to settle in some of the less populated parts of Western Quetzenkel in exchange for technical expertise with respect to military and industrial goods. Their expertise allowed Quetzenkel to construct a relatively modern military by 1990, though efforts to maintain it were not taken as it was thought the Occidental danger had passed. | Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament.

With the collapse of the long ruling [[Varshan#Yun-harle dynasty|Yun-harle dynasty]], Varshan's northernmost province of Brudxaan entered rebellion in [[1958]]. With support from [[Daxia]], Quetzenkel annexed the rebellious province of Brudxaan, modern [[New Veltorina]], in [[1962]]. This move met with the support of most international powers, establishing a so-called "Varshan gradient" which separated [[Cao]] and Occidental possessions in [[Cusinaut]] from Varshan. It also had the effect of collapsing the centuries old [[Venua'tino#Polar Captaincy|Polar Captaincy]] in [[Venua'tino]]. The region was also partly settled with newly arrived Veltorines. | With the collapse of the long ruling [[Varshan#Yun-harle dynasty|Yun-harle dynasty]], Varshan's northernmost province of Brudxaan entered rebellion in [[1958]].

For the remainder of the 20th century, administration of the Brudxaan province became one of the leading political issues in Quetzenkel. Although its people were ethnically similar to the majority Quetzen population, centuries of Varshani rule had introduced many cultural innovations, including [[Orthodox Arzalism]], that made integration of the territory difficult. Additionally, most local socio-political authority had been deliberately destroyed by the Varshani authorities, creating a legitimacy problem in attempting to create a new local social hierarchy. By [[1993]], the Quetzen government decided to resettle local peoples and to clear land for ethnic and cultural Quetzens to settle in the former Brudxaan area, a move which met with international condemnation. In addition to their own people, the Quetzen government resorted to use of the local [[Veltorine_people#Life_Abroad_Movement|Veltorines]] to establish a new urban elite or to otherwise handle local public administration. By the turn of the 21st century, Veltorines were significant ingrained in the economic, political, and social leadership of western Quetzenkel. | |||
