Societal upheavals are consistently correlated with mass war, famine, and significant population decline, leading to shifts in social structures and political landscapes.

These variables serve as indicators for when revolutions are likely to occur, demonstrating that societal strengths can become weaknesses when pressures reach critical levels.
