One thing can make many other things happen.

Nothing is so contagious as example; and we never do any great good or evil which does not produce its like.

... you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the "falling domino" principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly.
