      abstract = {While defeat in a foreign war is a common cause of  political and social revolutions, not all wars end in  uprisings. When and where does war lead to mass rebellion?  I address this question by studying how the exposure to the  Russo-Japanese War through military conscription and  mobilization affected the number of peasant revolts and  industrial workers' strikes during the First Russian  Revolution of 1905-07. Using original historical data, I  leverage plausibly exogenous variation in military  conscription quotas and partial mobilization waves by  province-year to show that coercive military service  increased citizen grievances and led to unrest. Further  examination of the heterogeneous treatment effects suggests  that conscription resulted in mass uprisings after the  defeat in the war and in the presence of ethnic and  religious minorities.},
