Just like the <span>Tramecksans and the Slamecksans are fighting over wearing high vs. low heels, Lilliput and Blefuscu are fighting over the right way of breaking eggs. Furthermore, it's an old conflict, which started when the Emperor's great-grandfather was alive. Swift makes these things causes of conflicts because he wants the reader to infer that politics is far too often brought down to petty trinkets which are not even worth considering. Even more, wars are being fought in the name of such conflicts. Of course, there is more to it than meets the eye: wars are the way to acquire material goods. But the common people still believe this nonsense, letting themselves be fooled.</span>

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

In 1917, two revolutions appeared in Russia. These revolutions would end the imperial rule which had been established for centuries.

Explanation:

Through the revolutions in Russia in 1917, there would be some social changes that would allow the establishment of the Soviet Union.

The majority of countries in Western Europe considered Russia as an undeveloped society. During the Russian Empire, serfdom was practiced. This was a form of feudalism which forced the landless peasants to attend the nobility's lands.

However, this practice had been abolished in most of Western Europe's countries by the end of the Middle Ages.
