Besides the Russo-Japanese war, there were other deciding factors such as economic troubles in rural areas between landowners and peasants, the lack of industrialisation and the growth of opposition towards the Tsar. These events were important as they provided more to the start of the outbreak unlike the Russo-Japanese war as they showed issues regarding Russia and were able to start an outbreak all by…

Greenhouse emissions caused by the heavy reliance of fossil fuels have put the environment and planet under threat; the industrialisation of developing countries is partly to blame.
