All of the above reasons contributed to Russia losing power in the early 1900s. Opposition to westernization and the shift to a market economy created divisions and conflicts within Russian society and government. Rapid industrialization put severe strain on the economy and led to social and economic disparities. Unrest among the people, fueled by dissatisfaction with the autocratic rule of the tsars and growing inequality, mounted and eventually led to the Russian Revolution in 1917, which ultimately resulted in the collapse of Tsarist Russia and the rise of the Soviet Union.
