2 如何理解这里的 it 的指代对象

Rathje's hypothesis probably explains part of the complex process of Mayan state formation, but it suffers from the objection that suitable alternative raw materials can be found in the lowlands. It could be, too, that warfare became a competitive response to population growth and to the increasing scarcity of prime agricultural land, and that it played an important role in the emergence of the Mayan states.

 

请教一下曹老师,句中的两个it分别指什么?有人说第一个it是形式主语,第二个itwarfare,这样的话,将实际主语代入形式主语后,句子是that warfare became a competitive response to population growth and to the increasing scarcity of prime agricultural land, and that warfare played an important role in the emergence of the Mayan states could be,这个句子完整吗?它的表语应该是什么?还是说这里的be=exist?这样的话,面对it could be that……句型,如何确定it是代指上文某内容,构成真正的主系表结构,还是做形式主语构成主谓结构,仅仅表示that从句的存在而已?

it为形式主语,that从句为真正主语。be在此为不及物动词,意为happentake place
