When a star uses up all of it's fuel one of two things can happen: either it explodes as a supernova, releasing large amounts of gas and dust into the surrounding space; or the star will expand into a red giant (which will happen to our sun) and release it's outer layers gradually in the process. Both of these processes will produce a nebula.

What two factors cause a nebula to develop into a star?

The two main factors that cause a nebula to develop into a star are gravity and heat. Gravity pulls the gas and dust in the nebula together, causing it to collapse under its own gravity. As the collapse continues, the temperature and pressure in the core of the collapsing nebula increase, eventually reaching a point where nuclear fusion ignites, and a star is born.

What are possible triggers to begin the collapse of an interstellar gas cloud?

A common trigger would be a nearby nova or supernova. Note that it would not need to collapse the entire nebula; just creating a spot of critical density would cause a protostar to form.
